The limited liability company, the LLC, has become the entity of
choice for many business clients of attorneys, yet there is no
“one size fits all” LLC operating agreement. The content of
the operating agreement depends in large part on the nature of the
business transaction - whether involving, for example, an investment
entity or family asset planning - and on the potential complexity of the
transaction.
This practical, half-day program goes beyond a survey-type course and
explains how to use LLCs for different business transactions. After
reviewing general guidelines of forming LLCs and some basic drafting
points that are common to all LLC operating agreements, the experienced
panelists discuss how to tailor an LLC for those transactions with
emphasis on structure and drafting considerations. The speakers also
address tax and financial issues applicable to LLCs in general and to
the specific areas/transactions for which you are drafting. Also covered
are best ways to handle potential internal disputes in the
organization.
The speakers spend considerable time analyzing terms and provisions that
should or should not be in an operating agreement, given the
client’s objectives, and they will highlight recommended drafting
tips for the attorney/business counselor.
