EwokEntourage posted:only if any of them had membership interests in the llc that owns it That's interesting, is there a way to see who the board members of Something Awful LLC are? Seems like it would be a public knowledge thing. Certainly I don't want anyone doxxed but I'm curious if it's a "put all my closest friends and family on the board" or if there's some rogue stakeholders like I dunno, Schmorky.

I'm going to save you a click, it's almost certainly just Lowtax, creating an LLC so that if some idiot goon murders a bunch of people and says "Richard 'Lowtax' Kyanka got me to do it on his murder webforum, also it's where we launder all of the drug money through", and all of the money dries up, his unpaid hosting bills won't follow through to him too. Or so goes the idea. IANAL but that's the whole point of an LLC.

yea maybe you should not be a lawyer you might be able to find who the members are, and whether its a member-managed LLC or manager-managed LLC, depending on where the llc was registered and what the state requires to be filed. you most likely cannot get the operating agreement or any info on membership interests beyond who the members actually are (if you can get that)

With the supreme court case from last week (two weeks ago?) that said discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation is covered under "sex" in the Civil Rights Act, does that mean the same is also true in any other federal laws that prohibit discrimination based on sex? Will each one have to be litigated each time it comes up?

I maybe have a drink once or twice a year, but when I do, its Scotch. There is a lawyer in our office who's a BIG time wine drinker, like collect good bottles, has a wine cellar and everything. Whiskey for the rest of them - No Craft Beer Edit: Texas, Y'all

I don’t really drink anymore and I was never a big fan of the zillion varieties of whiskey or other similar charred barrel aged spirits. If I am going to drink liquor, I prefer vodka.

Has anyone prepared the paperwork for a Non-Profit Organization? I was going to buy a book on and prepare a report for a couple people who want to incorporate and show them the options. I was going to prepare the paperwork and what not for them and then have a local attorney review it (or at least that is what I will advise them to do) I'm just curious if there is a recommended book, there's a few on Amazon and I can't necessarily tell them which to do (they're still debating between llc vs nonprofit vs nonprofit charitable).

Your friends should probably see if there's a local legal clinic or something that helps with non profit paperwork instead and can advise them on it instead of you freehanding this poo poo and whatever attorney you show it to letting out a long sigh.

I do 501(c)3 applications and it's pretty common to have well meaning potential clients come in having already formed the entity to "save time." I have never once been able to use what they had and then redo everything from scratch. It's more complicated than most laypeople think and every detail has to be perfect for the IRS.

You are the 3rd worst kind of client; I don't mean this as an attack on you specifically, but hear me out. 1) "My first two lawyers were awful and blah blah blah...." Huge red flag, never take these clients. They likely won't pay you, won't listen to you, and won't stop doing what you specifically tell them not to. 2) "Hey, after I called you yesterday, I thought of something else. What happens if blah blah blah..." These people don't inherently trust you. Not in a malicious way, but they are anxious, don't really understand everything thats going on but also don't trust you when you tell them whats going on. Plus they don't realize that you charge more per hour to talk to them than a therapist would, and then they get made that you charged them to talk to them. 3) "Ok, I just want you to review/look over/tell me if its legal to/file this one thing..." These people think they can "save a little money" by doing part of it themselves, like some sort of construction project. "Oh, I'll install the ceiling fans after you wire the house." Its the WebMD diagnosis patient. They think they have it all figured out already, but they just need the lawyer to do the last little bit. Except ya'll have it backwards - the foundational work like wiring the house is the important part (like researching and drafting the proper corporate entity) and installing the fans are the finishing touches (reviewing the document.) A lawyer is responsible for the whole transaction, and a good lawyer won't gently caress with "just reviewing a document." You can find a bad lawyer to "just review a document." but why would you hire a bad lawyer? Just like no good contractor wants to let you do the most important part of their job for them to "save a little money" but be on the hook for all the liability related to your work, no good lawyer wants that either. If you want good, competent representation, pay for it.

I work for a non for profit charity and there's a good reason I have zero interest in getting involved in the legal poo poo. From what I hear the jump from 'basic not for profit' to 'tax exempt charity that can hand out tax deductible donation recipts' is huge and a giant pain in the rear end.

Our lawyer had a really fun time getting everything together for the fire department to be a 501(c)(3) - the department was organized in the mid 1800s and still operates on that charter. He was less than pleased, but he got it done.

From what I hear the jump from 'basic not for profit' to 'tax exempt charity that can hand out tax deductible donation recipts' is huge and a giant pain in the rear end. My counter experience is that we set up a 501c3, ran it for about 8 years, and subsumed it into a larger 501c3 when the initial purpose no longer existed. No lawyers were involved at any time and it worked out perfectly fine. Articles of incorporation and the tax paperwork weren't very difficult. I suspect it depends on the scale and purpose of your organization. If your worst enemy would agree that you qualify as an exempt organization and you're working with less than 10,000 a year the paperwork isn't bad at all. The IRS website has a step by step walk through so figuring out the corporate structure is the only really hard part.
