Business entities
can be created by postcard. But most of the time, you and your clients are going to
want to put some significant advance thought into some of the
formation issues, and have more robust documentation. A typical operating agreement
for either a board-managed or a member-managed LLC might entail
several choices and run to a dozen or score of pages,
for example.
Bryan Zlimen will share his insights about the choices and
the process, based on his extensive practice in this area. He will also share
some recent contributions he has made to add to the MSBA's mndocs collection of
documents for members to use forming businesses for their clients, explaining
the reasons behind some of the drafting, the advantages of using an interview process instead
of cut-and-paste copying, and where you might consider further customizing the
formation documents generated by the templates. Using templates makes the process more efficient,
while also guarding against potential drafting mistakes.
This CLE is approved for
credit through January 25, 2020.
