An Oklahoma multi-member LLC operating agreement is a legal document that is specifically designed for use by members of a company that will have more than one (1) contributing, managing member. The document will assist the members by guiding them through the processes of establishing the various aspects of the company (ie: company policies, procedures etc) that will be agreed upon, unanimously, by all members, to ensure that there will be a clear understanding by all so that management will be consistent.

This form is not a requirement within the state. It is advised that companies of any size consider the implementation of the document so that there will be a clear separation between the members and the company business. By doing so, the member’s private assets of any type would then be protected from liability should the company find it’s facing legal difficulties of any kind. The document will also provide tax benefits, not available without placement of the document within the organization. Members should review the document. If it’s not clearly defined to all members, then a collective consultation with a knowledgeable business attorney should be considered.
