A limited liability company is a statutory business entity that combines limited liability protection with flexible internal governance and pass-through tax treatment by default in many cases.

How is an LLC formed?

An LLC is generally formed by filing a certificate or articles of organization with the state and satisfying statutory filing requirements.

What is an operating agreement?

An operating agreement is the internal contract among members, and often the LLC itself, governing management, economic rights, fiduciary duties, transfers, and other internal affairs.

Who manages an LLC by default?

Under many modern LLC statutes, an LLC is member-managed by default unless the governing documents validly provide for manager management.

What fiduciary duties exist in an LLC?

Modern LLC statutes commonly impose duties of loyalty and care, plus an obligation of good faith and fair dealing, though the operating agreement often may modify some rules within statutory limits.

When does a member bind the LLC?

In a member-managed LLC, a member acting in the ordinary course of the company's activities generally can bind the LLC unless the member lacked authority and the third party knew that.

Are members personally liable for LLC obligations?

Members and managers are generally not personally liable for LLC debts solely by reason of being members or managers, though they remain liable for their own misconduct and veil piercing may apply in exceptional cases.

Does a transferee of an LLC interest become a member automatically?

No. A transferee usually receives only the transferor's economic rights unless admitted as a member under the operating agreement or governing statute.

Does dissociation automatically entitle a member to a buyout?

Not necessarily. Under many modern LLC statutes, dissociation does not automatically trigger a buyout unless the operating agreement or specific statutory rules provide for one.

What is veil piercing in the LLC context?

Veil piercing allows a court to disregard the LLC's separate existence and impose personal liability when members misuse the entity as an alter ego and recognizing the entity would promote fraud or injustice.
