Common questions about Business Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

How long do business contracts have a statute of limitations in Arizona?

Written contracts: 6 years under ARS § 12-548. Oral contracts: 3 years under ARS § 12-543. UCC contracts for the sale of goods: 4 years under ARS § 47-2725. Open accounts: 3 years. The clock starts when the breach occurs (or, sometimes, when it's discovered). Acknowledging the debt or making partial payment can restart the clock under ARS § 12-508.

What does the Arizona Corporation Commission regulate?

The ACC under Article XV of the Arizona Constitution regulates incorporated entities (filings, annual reports), public utilities and pipelines, securities offerings, and railroad and utility safety. Business entity matters include filing Articles of Incorporation/Organization, accepting service of process, and maintaining the public corporate registry.

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.
