By-laws are the internal governance document of an Arizona corporation. They define how the company is run: the role of directors and officers, how meetings are called and conducted, voting procedures, indemnification, and shareholder rights.

We draft by-laws that match how the corporation actually intends to operate, rather than relying on a generic template that may quietly conflict with day-to-day practice. For closely held corporations, this attention pays off the first time a real decision needs to be made.

We also pair by-laws with shareholder agreements, employment agreements for officers, and the rest of the legal infrastructure of the business. The pieces should fit together.

If your corporation has been operating without by-laws (or with by-laws no one has looked at since incorporation), this is a worthwhile fix.

Who this is for

• New Arizona corporations at formation
• Existing corporations updating outdated by-laws
• Closely held corporations preparing for growth or new shareholders

What you gain

• Defined governance procedures
• Clear officer and director authority
• Coordinated indemnification provisions
• Alignment with how the company actually operates
