Common questions about Business Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

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.

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.

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.
