Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Partnership Agreement

Tennessee

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

What is a limited partnership agreement?

Being asked to sign one and not sure what it is. I'm trying to create a partnership with a few of my colleagues and I'm concerned about the word 'limited'.

Michael S.

Answered Oct 25, 2022

We really need to know more about the business and how everyone envisions ownership in order to answer the question. In general (and this is very general - I am a PA lawyer, not Tennessee), a limited partnership is an entity through which a business or property is owned. In a limited partnership, you need to have a general partner (either one more individuals or entities) who essentially manage the entity, and also have liability for all liabilities of the general partnership. The limited partners invest in the entity, but have no liability for the entity's obligations.

LLC

California

Asked on Oct 29, 2023

How is management structure set post-formation?

I am in the process of forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and I am looking to understand how the management structure will be set up post-formation. I have a business partner who will be a co-owner of the LLC and I am interested in learning the best way to ensure that both of our interests are represented in the management structure. Furthermore, I am interested in learning what type of documentation will be needed to ensure that our management structure is properly set up and in compliance with applicable laws.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

When forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) with a business partner, it's crucial to establish a clear and effective management structure to represent both of your interests. To do so, you should create an Operating Agreement, a customizable document that outlines the management structure, ownership percentages, and roles and responsibilities of each member. You can choose between a member-managed or manager-managed LLC, depending on your and your partner's roles and preferences. Defining ownership percentages, management responsibilities, voting rights, meeting procedures, and compliance with state laws is essential. Legal counsel should be consulted to draft the Operating Agreement and ensure compliance with specific state regulations, and it's important to regularly review and update the document to adapt to changes as your business evolves.

Form 1120-S

California

Asked on Oct 13, 2024

Can a corporation elect to be treated as an S corporation after filing Form 1120-S?

I am the owner of a small corporation that has been filing taxes using Form 1120-S for several years, and I recently learned about the potential tax benefits of electing S corporation status. I am interested in exploring this option and would like to know if it is possible to retroactively elect S corporation status for previous tax years, or if it can only be done prospectively.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 25, 2024

Hello! Tha answer is yes. What you need to do is seek a late election using Form 2553. Your late S corp election must be filed within three years and 75 days after its proposed effective date. This means that you can do this retroactively. You can even start here with this video to figure out how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA81sVVtgp8 Best of luck!

Shareholders Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Jul 8, 2023

Pros & cons of shareholders agreements?

I am a shareholder in a small business and am looking to draw up a shareholders agreement. I understand that a shareholders agreement can protect my interests as a shareholder, but I am not sure of the pros and cons of such an agreement. I would like to know more about the benefits and drawbacks of having a shareholders agreement in place.

Thomas L.

Answered Jul 21, 2023

Shareholders have rights and powers under the corporate law of the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated. But many stockholders, especially in private companies, demand additional powers and protections.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
