What is an Oklahoma limited liability company operating agreement?

You have probably heard of limited liability companies or LLCs as they are often referred to. 

You may not have heard about the key constitutional document for an Oklahoma LLC: the Operating Agreement.

An operating agreement is an agreement by the members of the LLC as to how the company will be run.  Among other things, the operating agreement controls:

1. Relations among the members as members and between the members and the limited liability company;
2. The rights and duties under the Oklahoma Limited Liability Company Act of a person in the capacity of manager;
3. The activities of the company and the conduct of those activities; and
4. The means and conditions for amending the operating agreement.

Title 18 O.S. section 2012.2

You can think of an LLC operating agreement as the manual for operating your Oklahoma limited liability company.

On this blog, I write about and try to answer practical Oklahoma legal questions. My focus and most experience is in estate planning and business issues including Oklahoma non-compete law. I make a living as an attorney in the law firm I founded, Shawn J. Roberts, P.C. in Oklahoma City. I live in Edmond with my wife Amy and my two children, Sam (19) and David (11). We live precisely in the path of where the "wind comes sweeping down the plains."
