What You Need to Know About LLC Operating Agreements in New York
An operating agreement is a contract that sets forth the rights and responsibilities of members in a limited liability company (LLC). In New York, the operating agreement may be drafted before, at the same time as, or within 90 days of filing the Articles of Organization. As an internal document, the operating agreement does not need to be filed with the Department of State.
An operating agreement must include certain information regarding various aspects of the LLC. These include:
- Management and voting
- Liability of members
- Contributions of members
- Dissolution and termination
- Membership changes and transitions
- Distribution of profits and losses
Essentially, an operating agreement lays out the legal requirements and procedures for both the day-to-day operation of the LLC and for special circumstances (such as when a member dies or leaves the LLC). An operating agreement may also provide details on how meetings should be conducted, as well as many other aspects of the LLC. Each operating agreement is unique to the specific needs of the LLC it is written for. Since it is a legally binding contract, it is important to have experienced legal counsel to review it.
