Corporate Governance & Operating Agreements by Corporations / Partnerships Lawyer
The best time to resolve a dispute between partners or members is prior to it materializing. Our Spartanburg Corporations lawyer / Partnerships lawyer at the McQueen Law Firm will design, develop and assist you with operating agreements, partnership agreements and corporate bylaws. By clearly establishing the respective rights and responsibilities of partners and members and / or defining the structure and manner by which the corporation will be managed and operated, the potential for internal disputes and external threats are minimized.
- Corporation Bylaws essentially dictate the structure and manner by which a corporation will be managed and operated. The bylaws are essentially the corporation’s laws, and may be thought of as the corporate equivalent to Operating Agreements in LLCs, and Partnership Agreements in Partnerships. Unlike the articles of incorporation that are filed with a state agency (i.e. the South Carolina Secretary of State) upon forming a new corporation, the corporate bylaws are kept as a business record, and may be shared with potential investors or other third parties with whom the corporation does business.
Our Spartanburg business attorney / Greenville business attorney helps our clients draft, review, and revise Corporation Bylaws to assure that a proper corporate structure – one that promotes efficiency and consistency in the management and operation of the corporation – is established.
- Operating Agreements are generally entered into by Members of a limited liability company (LLC), to formalize the Members’ respective financial and managerial rights and duties, and to govern the limited liability company’s operations. The Operating Agreement typically outlines each member’s role, if any, in the management of the LLC, and each member’s respective share in the profits/losses of the LLC. An effective Operating Agreement eliminates confusion between the limited liability company’s members with respect to each member’s role, and accordingly reduces the likelihood of litigation over potential disputes between the members of the LLC.
Our Spartanburg business attorney / Greenville business attorney helps our clients draft, review, and revise Operating Agreements to assure that our clients’ best-interests are promoted and protected in the course of the business operations, and with the intention to limit the possibility of litigation as a result of potential members’ disputes with each other.
- Partnerships are typically governed by a Partnership Agreement, which outlines the partners’ general understandings with respect to all aspects of the business operations, including without limitation the sharing profits and losses; respective managerial roles, if any; and, additional obligations of the partners to one another. An effective Partnership Agreement eliminates confusion between the partners with respect to each partner’s role, and accordingly reduces the likelihood of litigation over potential disputes between the partners.
