Operating Agreement
Texas
Can an operating agreement be amended without the unanimous consent of all members?
Can an operating agreement for a limited liability company (LLC) be amended without the unanimous consent of all members, specifically in a situation where one member wants to introduce changes to the agreement but another member is opposed to the proposed amendments? I am a member of an LLC and we have encountered a disagreement regarding certain provisions in our operating agreement that one member wishes to modify in order to better suit our evolving business needs, while another member believes the existing agreement should remain unchanged. We are seeking clarification on the legal requirements for amending the operating agreement and the extent to which unanimous consent is necessary.
Ricardo A.
The ability to amend an LLC's operating agreement without unanimous consent depends on the provisions explicitly stated in the operating agreement itself and the governing state law. Here are the general considerations based on your uploaded documents: Operating Agreement's Amendment Provisions: If the operating agreement specifies that unanimous consent is required to amend the agreement, all members must agree before any changes can be made. Some agreements allow amendments with a lower threshold, such as a majority or supermajority vote, which could permit changes without unanimous consent. Default State Laws: If the operating agreement is silent on amendments, state law typically governs. Many state laws default to requiring unanimous consent for amendments, but this varies by jurisdiction . Provisions Adversely Affecting Members: Even if unanimous consent is not generally required, amendments that disproportionately or adversely affect a specific member often require that member's explicit approval. Operating Agreement Example: In one of the agreements reviewed, a specific clause stipulates that amendments generally require unanimous consent unless the change is a technical clarification or otherwise allowed by a specific majority vote. To resolve your disagreement: Review the Operating Agreement: Look for any specific provisions regarding amendments and voting requirements. Consult State Law: Identify the state where your LLC is formed and review applicable LLC statutes for default rules on amendments. Seek Legal Advice: An attorney licensed in the applicable can clarify whether proposed amendments align with the operating agreement and applicable laws.

Partnership Agreement
Tennessee
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.
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.

Certificate of Good Standing
California
What is a Certificate of Good Standing?
I am a small business owner in the process of applying for a business loan and I have come across the term 'Certificate of Good Standing.' I am not sure what this certificate is, why it is necessary, and how I can obtain one for my business. Could you please explain what a Certificate of Good Standing is and its significance in the context of business operations and loan applications?
Robert P.
A certificate of good standing is simply a due diligence item the lender will require showing your business entity is in "good standing" with the state in which the business was formed. "Good standing" means the business is operational and has paid its taxes (franchise taxes, etc) and is up to date on all annual fees, etc. To get the certificate, you can log on to your state of formation's secretary of state website (usually under the section entitled "business services") and you can purchase a certificate of good standing for a minimal fee.

Severance Agreement
New York
Can I negotiate the terms of a severance agreement with my employer?
I have recently been informed by my employer that my position is being eliminated due to company restructuring, and they have offered me a severance agreement. However, I have concerns about some of the terms in the agreement, such as the non-compete clause and the amount of severance pay being offered. I would like to know if it is possible for me to negotiate these terms with my employer before signing the agreement.
Arthur S.
Severance Agreements are often presented to employees as a "take it or leave it proposition": however, it has been my experience that many of the underlying provisions of these severance agreements are, in fact, negotiable. Also, as an employee, you are not without rights...a fact that is often, though reluctantly, recognized by employers. the agreements prepared on behalf of employers are often heavy handed and should not be entered into by the employee without advice of coounsel./
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
