LLC and member meetings?
I am considering forming a limited liability company (LLC) with a few other partners. We are looking to have a clear understanding of the expectations for LLC and member meetings, including the frequency and formality of such meetings. We also want to make sure all members are held accountable for their actions and that our rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined.

In Florida, LLCs are not required to have annual meetings of the members and/or managers. However, your operating agreement would lay out different circumstances when the members and/or managers must meet to make important company decisions. You can draft the operating agreement to give you and your partners greater flexibility as to when and why a meeting is required, for example, hiring a new officer, spending over a certain amount of money, admitting a new member or removing a member. If you do not have an operating agreement in place, then the default is the FRLLCA. However, holding meetings of the members and/or managers is a good way to increase your liability protection. Even if the formalities are not required by law, abiding by them can help bolster your corporate veil and it will also add value down the road to your business when you or your partners sell. To hold a meeting, you would need to notice all the members, hold the meeting, record the minutes of the meeting and then draft and execute any resolutions that were voted on at the meeting. If all members are going to vote unanimously, you could use a "Consent in lieu of meeting" to be drafted that records the vote and decision of the members, which all voting members should sign. It is important that your operating agreement is well drafted.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

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.
