Business Law

Rules That Govern Your Business Partnership.

An operating agreement is the governing document of your LLC — defining how decisions are made, how profits are divided, and what happens when members disagree or want to exit. GA Law Group drafts operating agreements that prevent disputes before they start.

Georgia's LLC Act gives members wide latitude to structure their company as they see fit — but that flexibility only works if the operating agreement actually addresses the issues that matter. GA Law Group drafts operating agreements that reflect your specific business, relationship dynamics, and long-term plans.

Management Structure

Georgia LLCs can be managed by their members (member-managed) or by designated managers (manager-managed). The choice affects day-to-day authority, third-party dealings, and the rights of non-managing members. GA Law Group advises on which structure best fits your business and drafts governance provisions that allocate authority clearly.

Profit and Loss Allocation

How profits and losses are allocated among members — and when distributions are required vs. discretionary — are among the most frequently litigated issues in LLC disputes. A clear operating agreement eliminates ambiguity and gives you legal recourse if a co-member withholds distributions unfairly.

Buy-Sell Provisions

What happens when a member wants to leave? When a member dies or becomes incapacitated? When members fundamentally disagree about direction? Buy-sell provisions — sometimes called "shotgun clauses" or "right of first refusal" provisions — provide answers to these questions before they become crises. GA Law Group has designed buy-sell structures for businesses ranging from two-person service firms to multi-member investment groups.
