What type of attorney for drawing up an operating agreement

Question

What type of attorney should I be connecting with in order to draw up an operating agreement that I plan use between myself and future potential partners?   Also, should I be staying local for this particular legal need?

Damon Pendleton · Answer

Try a larger firm that does corporate formations and has a litigation arm. The litigation component is important because that’s really where your operating agreements get tested.

A good one. One that has seen businesses fail, succeed, and partners that break up or pass on.

James Miller · Answer

An experienced business-law attorney. Preferably one that has understanding of securities laws as well as asset protection beyond just your typical "I form LLCs" lawyer.

@Ryan Moore Corporate law is the short answer.

But @Carl Fischer brings up a good point. The lawyer engaged should understand your specific real estate investment endeavor... including who among the potential future members will bring true value to the relationship (and in what quantity), what may go wrong, and how to unwind it all.

Is there a specialty area of law that deals with operating agreements?
