Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Operating Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jan 15, 2025

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.

Answered Jan 24, 2025

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.

LLC

Asked on Jun 1, 2023

How does an LLC work?

I am in the process of starting a business and have been advised to form an LLC. I am not familiar with the structure of an LLC, and am interested in learning more about how it works and the benefits it provides. I would like to understand the legal implications of forming an LLC and how it can help protect my personal assets.

Thomas L.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

Tax: An LLC is a "pass-through" entity, so it does not pay income taxes. Instead, its owners pay income taxes on their share of the LLCs profits. So it avoids the double taxation of corporations (the corporate pays income taxes and then the stockholders pay income taxes on their dividends). 2. An LLC is controlled by its "Operating Agreement" (similar to corporate bylaws). An LLC can be set up as a limited partnership (passive investors, and the Managers have 100% control - e.g. real estate), a corporation (the investors get to vote once a year for a "Board of Managers" - a business with significant investment), or a partnership (no board, the owners all vote on every issue - a professional services firm). The choice depends on the nature of the business.

Asked on Jun 19, 2023

S corp and corporate restructuring?

I am looking to restructure my business, which is incorporated as an S corp. I am looking for advice on how to best restructure the business to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the new structure is advantageous for the business. I am considering various options such as merging with another business, changing the ownership structure, or forming a new entity. I am seeking legal advice on the best approach and the potential implications of each option.

Chris J.

Answered Jul 21, 2023

Hi: Generally speaking, you have several options (many of which you've identified). 1. You can revoke S-Corp status (if you have a corporation and want C-Corp status). However, revocation won't be effective until the 2024 tax year. With that said, sometimes people inadvertently revoke S-Corp status by taking certain actions (which we can discuss). 2. You can create a new entity and structure it in the way you want (corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.). Then, you can wind down the S-Corp. 3. You can merge your existing S-Corp into an entity and have that entity survive and your S-Corp "merge out" and disappear. The approach that makes the most sense depends upon your business, the assets held by your S-Corp, and your objectives. Best regards, Chris Jackson

Dissolution Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 5, 2024

What is the process for dissolving a corporation?

I am the owner of a small corporation that has been struggling financially for the past few years, and I have finally made the difficult decision to dissolve the company. However, I am unsure about the legal steps involved in the dissolution process and want to ensure that I am following all necessary procedures to avoid any potential liabilities or complications in the future. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with an overview of the process for dissolving a corporation, including any required paperwork, notifications, and potential legal considerations.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 22, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. To start, you'll need to formally decide to dissolve the company. This usually involves a resolution by the board of directors and a vote by the shareholders, with the required percentage of votes depending on your bylaws. You've got to then file final tax returns. It's also essential to properly notify your creditors that the corporation is dissolving. This usually involves sending written notice to all known creditors, providing them with instructions for filing claims against the corporation. The other step is to file the actual dissolution documents with the state. The state allows you to do this online. Dissolving a corporation can be really difficult so please consult with us for more! Best of luck! Dolan
