(a)Nothing contained in this Act shall be interpreted to abolish, repeal, modify, restrict, or limit the law in effect in this State on the effective date of this Act that is applicable to the professional relationship and liabilities between the person furnishing the professional services and the person receiving such professional services or the law that is applicable to the standards for professional conduct. Any manager, member, agent, or employee of a professional limited liability company shall remain personally and fully liable and accountable for any negligent or wrongful acts or misconduct committed by him or her or by any person under his or her direct supervision and control while rendering professional services on behalf of the professional limited liability company.
