Florida LLCs: Are you ready for 2015?
Posted in Focus on Florida
Effective Jan. 1, 2015, the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act governs all LLCs in the state.
Gunster attorney Stacie Townsend writes about the act's most significant changes in today's Daily Business Journal.
In the article, she covers:
- Required operating agreement provisions that cannot be waived (existing provisions contrary to these are now considered unenforceable) - such as the LLC's capacity to sue or be sued.
- Rules that take effect if an existing operating agreement does not specifically address a matter - such as consent required to amend the operating agreement.
- Other challenges - such as domesticating foreign entities as Florida LLCs.
