Arizona does not require an LLC to have an operating agreement, but practically every well-run business has one. The operating agreement defines ownership percentages, voting rights, capital contributions, distributions, management structure, and what happens when a member leaves, dies, or wants out.

We draft operating agreements that are tailored to your business rather than copied from a template. That includes single-member LLCs that need a strong agreement to preserve liability protection, and multi-member LLCs where the agreement prevents predictable disputes between owners.

When clients come to us with an existing template-based agreement, we routinely find provisions that do not match how the business actually operates. Updating those provisions before a dispute arises is far easier than fixing them after.

Nicole pairs operating agreement work with related documents like buy-sell agreements, employment agreements, and vendor contracts so the legal infrastructure of the business holds together.
