LLC Operating Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jul 16, 2025

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the consent of all members?

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the consent of all members? I am a member of an LLC and we have been operating under a certain agreement for several years. However, there have been some changes in our business and it is necessary to make amendments to the operating agreement. One of the members is reluctant to agree to the changes, but the majority of us believe it is in the best interest of the company. We want to know if it is possible to modify the operating agreement without the unanimous consent of all members, and if so, what steps are required to do so legally.

Cherie M.

Answered Aug 1, 2025

It primarily depends on what your operating agreement says regarding consent for making changes. That will control the process. If it is just changes to the operating agreement, it does not need to be reported to the Secretary of State. Changes to the Articles of Organization would need to be reported, however.

Business Issue

New York

Asked on Nov 18, 2024

Can I use a different name for my business other than my legal name?

I am currently in the process of starting my own business and I am considering using a different name for my business than my own legal name. I have heard about the concept of 'Doing Business As' (DBA) and I am wondering if I am legally allowed to operate my business under a different name. I want to understand the legal requirements and implications of using a DBA, such as registering the name, potential trademark issues, and any other legal considerations I should be aware of.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

Yes, you can use a different name for your business other than your legal name through a process called "Doing Business As" (DBA), also known as a fictitious business name or trade name. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Registration: Most states require you to register your DBA with the appropriate local or state agency. 2. Legal compliance: Using a DBA allows you to operate your business and enter into contracts under that name. 3. Trademark considerations: A DBA doesn't automatically protect your business name from trademark infringement. 4. Banking: You may need to provide your DBA registration to open a business bank account. 5. Tax implications: A DBA doesn't create a separate legal entity; it's simply an alias for your business. While using a DBA can offer flexibility in branding, there are important legal considerations and potential pitfalls to navigate. The specific requirements and implications can vary depending on your location and business structure. Given the complexities involved, it would be prudent to have professional guidance to ensure you're fully compliant and protected. As an experienced business attorney, I could assist you in: 1. Determining if a DBA is the best option for your situation 2. Guiding you through the registration process 3. Addressing potential trademark issues 4. Ensuring all legal requirements are met Would you like to discuss your specific business plans and how I can ensure your DBA is set up correctly?

Employee Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Aug 18, 2025

Can I file a claim for unpaid overtime wages?

I have been working for a small consulting firm for the past two years, and I recently discovered that I have not been receiving overtime pay despite regularly working more than 40 hours per week. According to my employment contract, I am classified as an exempt employee, but after researching the Fair Labor Standards Act, I believe that I may be misclassified and entitled to overtime compensation. I would like to know if I have a valid claim for unpaid overtime wages and what steps I should take to pursue this matter legally.

Frank G.

Answered Sep 26, 2025

If you are "non-exempt" and thereby entitled to overtime. Determining whether a worker is an "exempt" employee and not entitled to overtime requires application of the law to the facts. For instance, an "exempt" executive employee are paid not less than $455 per week, have their primary duty to manage part of the busisess, regularly direct the work of two or more other employees, and have the authority to hire or fire other employees or to make recommendations about hiring and firing taken into account by their employers. An "exempt" administrative employee, are also paid at least $455 a week and has the primary duty of the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or its customers--and is an employee whose primary duty for the employer involves exercising their discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters significant to the employer. It's not always easy to determine if someone is a managerial or administrative employee however and it can be a gray area. There are lots of examples of overtime exemptions such as computer and creative professionals, outside sales people, some truck drviers, some mechanics and some people working at auto dealerships. You may be non-exempt and eligible for overtime under the law if you are a paid a salary based on a 40 hour work week but work more than 40 hours. If you are eligible for overtime there are laws protecting you from retaliation for complaining about not being paid overtime.

Joint Venture Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Apr 11, 2023

What are the voting rights in a joint venture?

I am looking to enter into a joint venture with a business partner. We are both making a significant investment of resources and capital, and we want to ensure that we have a clear understanding of the voting rights associated with the venture. We want to make sure that each party's interests are protected and that all decisions are made in a fair and equitable manner.

Karen M.

Answered May 6, 2023

The voting rights should be based on what the parties determine to be appropriate based on your particular teaming arrangement. You also should consider if there is any voting requirement based on an end-user for the joint venture (e.g., governmental authority may require a majority ownership by one of the joint venturers as well as majority voting rights as in the case of an 8(a) certified entity).
