Common questions about Business Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Can I sue a former business partner in Arizona?
Yes. Disputes between business partners or LLC members commonly involve breach of fiduciary duty, breach of operating agreement or partnership agreement, accounting actions, dissolution, and derivative claims. ARS § 29-3110 (LLC fiduciary duties) and ARS Title 29, Chapter 5 (partnership) provide the substantive framework. Most business-divorce cases settle through buy-out negotiations; litigation can be expensive due to discovery into business records.
What is a buy-sell agreement?
A buy-sell agreement is a contract among co-owners of a business specifying what happens to an owner's interest upon death, disability, divorce, retirement, or voluntary sale. Common structures include cross-purchase (other owners buy the departing owner's share), entity redemption (the company buys it), or hybrid. Buy-sell agreements typically address valuation methodology, funding (often via life insurance), and triggering events.
What's the difference between an LLC and a corporation in Arizona?
An LLC under ARS Title 29 (Arizona Limited Liability Company Act) offers liability protection with pass-through tax treatment by default and minimal corporate formalities. A corporation under ARS Title 10 has shareholders, directors, and officers, requires annual meetings and minutes, and is taxed as a separate entity (C-corp) unless an S-election is made. LLCs are generally preferred for small businesses; corporations are preferred when raising venture capital.
