About John Hilton
As a lawyer, I bring a lifetime of service experience to my practice. The biggest lesson I learned throughout my career is that every person has a meaningful story behind whatever situation in which they find themselves. Discovering that story reveals the values, fears, goals, aspirations, concerns, and doubts that motivate that person, and allows me to guide and counsel each person toward the best possible outcome.

Common questions about Business Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
How do I form an LLC in Arizona?
File Articles of Organization with the Arizona Corporation Commission under ARS § 29-3201, designate a statutory agent (ARS § 29-3115), and adopt an operating agreement. Arizona does not require LLCs to publish notice of formation in most counties as of 2017, though Maricopa and Pima exemptions remain. Filing fees are modest, and Arizona does not require an annual report or fee for LLCs.
What is an operating agreement?
An operating agreement is the LLC's internal governance document, addressing membership interests, capital contributions, profit/loss allocation, voting rights, manager authority, and exit terms. Arizona law (ARS § 29-3105) recognizes operating agreements as the primary source of LLC governance, with ARS Title 29 supplying default rules where the agreement is silent. Single-member LLCs benefit from operating agreements too, especially for clarifying corporate veil.
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.
