The operating agreement is the members of LLC have a decision on how to operate the various aspects of the business (Miller, 2014, p.41). It is simply a contract. The LLC operating agreement must accommodate setting up sub-LLCs. Many states do not require the operating agreement because LLC exist. With other states, the operating agreement should be written so their interest can be protected. According to Miller, operating agreement typically contains provisions relating to the management and how future managers will be chosen or removed, how profit should be divided, how membership interests may be transferred, whether the dissociation of a member, such as by death, will trigger dissolution of the LLC, whether formal members’ meeting will …show more content…
A limited liability company agreement may provide that a member who fails to perform in accordance with, or to comply with the terms and conditions of, the limited liability company agreement shall be subject to specified penalties or specified consequences, and at the time or upon the happening of events specified in the limited liability company agreement, a member shall be subject to specified penalties or specified consequences (Washington State Legislative, 1994, sec 25.15.140). Let’s say a member of LLC read all the terms and conditions that is stated on the contract and then signed the contract. After a few days applying the rules that stated on the contract, the member violated one of the rules. The member must didn’t read that rule careful because he did the opposite of what the contract said. This allows the member the member to be punished for the action that was violated and the director had to let the member know the punishment. Unlike members, a limited liability company agreement may provide that a manager who fails to perform in accordance with, or to comply with the terms and conditions of, the limited liability company agreement shall be subject to specified penalties or specified consequences, and at the time or upon the happening of events specified in the limited liability company agreement, a manager shall be subject to specified penalties or specified consequences (Washington …show more content…
According to the Washington State Legislative, in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of the sole remaining manager occurs with regard to the sole remaining manager, and unless the limited liability company agreement provides otherwise, the limited liability company shall become member-managed unless one or more managers are appointed by majority vote of the members within ninety days after the occurrence of such an event (1994, sec. 25.15.185). The manager or owner need make sure they be prepare for situations like this because this can harm the company in so many ways. Tasks can decrease and this put more work on other employees. It is important that the managers recruit other individual from time to time so the company can have some fresh and new ideas to better the company. It is good that the limited liability company takes risks, but make sure they know the risk they are
LLCs must typically pay more fees to file as LLCs compared to some other business entities or sole proprietorships. Additionally, many states require yearly renewal fees. However, these fees are usually less than what some other corporations have to pay. Because of the protections afforded to LLCs, some types of businesses are ineligible to file as LLCs. Banks, insurance companies, and medical service companies are examples of businesses that can not be a LLC. Another big disadvantage is taxes. Although LLC’s allow owners to avoid federal taxes, you may actually end up paying more than it would with a different corporation, depending upon the nature of the business. Working with an accountant and/or tax lawyer is a really good idea when planning your business and forming your LLC but can also be quite expensive. The LLC business form is a relatively new concept. As a result, not a lot of cases have been decided surrounding LLCs. Case law is important because of predictability. If you know a court has ruled a certain way, you can act in a specific way to protect yourself. But if not many laws have been established yet, there is a certain vulnerability with your corporations that could expose you to greater
Nowadays, trade secrets, sensitive and confidential data has been leaked to competitors and the public has increased in the last 15 years. Under those circumstances, enterprises are kicking it up into high gear to maintain confidentiality and secure intellectual property. All in all, Disney’s confidential/non-compete agreement tackles the pros and cons for signers, view the benefits and hindrances of former employer’s confidential accords, and outlines two important items high-level employees have to adhere to safeguard the company.
Existing as an LLC, the company could maintain perpetual existence. An LLC can still be dissolved upon death, withdrawal, resignation, or bankruptcy of a member, unless you have provided for these situations in either a written operating agreement between the members or the articles of organization.
Limited Liability Companies (LLC) is “a form of business organization with the liability-shield advantages of a corporation and the flexibility
A Theory of Justice is the magnum opus of 20th century social contract theorist and political philosopher, John Rawls. A bit of background into this work is that social contract theory had fallen out of favor with political scientists and philosophers since the last 18th century, with the success of the American Revolution and the apparent triumph of John Locke and Democracy. However, with the advent of modern globalization, the emergence of America as a superpower, but the growing concern of socio-economic disparity necessitated a revisiting of the social contract, what it means, how societies and governments were best constructed.
This paper will focus on the Limited Liability Company, commonly known as LLC. Limited Liability Companies are a comparatively new form of business structure. It came about in 1977 once Wyoming was the first state to consent to such an organization, which merged the tax advantages of a partnership with the limited liability benefits that come with corporations. It took more than ten years following that decision for the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, to declare that an LLC would be considered a partnership when pertaining to federal taxes. During this time, none other than the state of Florida had introduced any LLC laws. This was due to the uncertainties surrounding LLCs when it concerned the tax outcomes of the entity. (Cartano, 2008)
Contract laws had two problems which are old contract law principles often did not reflect modern business practices, and law had become different from one state to another. On many legal topics, contacts law included the national government has had a little to say and has allowed the state to act individually. The UCC was made as an effort to answer two problems. I was a proposal written by legal scholars not a law drafted by members of congress or stat legislatures. The scholars at the American law institute and the national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws had great ideas but they had no legal authority to make anyone do anything. Over time, lawmakers in al fifty states were persuaded to adopt many parts of the Uniform Commercial Code. They responded to persuasive arguments such as businesses will benefit if most commercial transactions are governed by the modern and efficient contract law principles that are outlined in the uniform commercial code. Also businesses everywhere will be able to operate more efficiently, and transactions will be more convenient, if the law surrounding most of their transactions is the same in all fifty states. The main focus is in the article 2 of the uniform commercial code book.
Most contracts never see a courtroom and they could easily be verbal unless there is a specific reason for the contract to be in writing. But when something goes wrong, a written contract protects both parties. If one party to a valid contract believes the other party has broken the contract the party being harmed can bring a lawsuit against the party who it believes has breached the contact (Murray, 2016). The legal process determines whether the contract has been breached or whether there are circumstances that negate the breach. The court will only hear a contract dispute if the contract is valid. The difference between a Contract and an Agreement is most people use the terms "contract" and "agreement", they are not the same. A contract is an agreement between parties creating obligations
An elements of a legal contract is legally enforceable agreement. Also All contracts, whether written, verbal, express or implied must have certain elements in order to be valid.

Which would be offer , Acceptance, Consideration, Legality,Capacity,Consent,and Writing. Element one The party must show false statement of facts,element two the party must demonstrate that the statement was material or important.

Sometimes courts will enforce agreements even if they fail to meet usual requirements of a contract.In the scenario it talks about jim and laura giving stan a 100 dollar deposit for a blue 4 door sedan, stan lets them know that the deposit was garenteeted refundable.Jim and laura the next day decided to change there minds about the car and wanted there money back stan insited to get
The case presented is that of Sam Stevens who resides in an apartment. He has been working on an alarm system that makes barking sounds to scare off intruders, and has made a verbal agreement with a chain store to ship them 1,000 units. He had verbally told his landlord, Quinn, about his new invention and Quinn wished him luck. However, he recently received an eviction notice for the violation of his lease due to the fact that his new invention was too loud and interrupting the covenant of quiet of enjoyment of the neighbors and for conducting business from his apartment unit.
According to the 2010 Census there were 27.9 million small businesses in the United States. Many of these companies are closely held organizations that face the question, who will run this company in the future. Some are family owned businesses that plan to leave the next generation the reins of the company. There are other companies that hope to leave the business to employees that were instrumental in the company’s success over the years. While some will outright sell the business and walk away into the warm sunsets of Florida or Arizona. All these companies face the same issue, what is the best plan to handle the succession of the business.
When it comes to contracts, there are certain elements or requirements, which need to be met in order for the contract to be valid. Defined, a contract is “an agreement that can be enforced in a court; formed by two or more parties who agree to perform or refrain from performing some act now or in the future” (Hollowell & Miller, 2014, p. 110). With contract law, there is the enforcement of promises made between two parties, even if made in private. Additionally if a promise is made, there is the possibility of the obligation falling into a moral liability rather than a legal liability. All in all, when it comes to business agreements, contract laws will apply to avoid any possible problems that may arise.

The outcomes might be producing a series of product or serving a group of target customers or satisfying others¡¦ needs.
Focus on the Remaining Employees: Managers must make sure the remaining employees are reassured that the situation is not negative. Prepare emails or memos for the remaining employees explaining the termination. Be honest and upfront about the reasons and consequences of terminations. If the termination is for absenteeism, then state that. If the company is experience financial problems, it is also a good idea to get that out in the open to avoid gossip and fear mongering. Implement a transition of responsibilities and assign duties to other associates.
4. Control: the members of the LLC have the ability to set up control of the corporation as they see fit.
