Business Litigation
- Q. Do I need to amend my LLC agreement and notify California after manager change?
- A: Regarding the LLC agreement amendment, I would advise to review the agreement and follow the procedures outlined there for management changes. Even if an amendment isn’t required, it’s good practice to document the decision in writing (e.g., through a resolution or updated management designation signed by all partners/members) to avoid future disputes.
Concerning notification to the California Secretary of State, California law requires LLCs to file a Statement of Information (Form LLC-12) to update the name and address of any new manager or managers.
- Q. Is it legal to offer employment to competitors' employees via social media?
- A: Generally speaking—yes, it is legal. However, one potential legal risk to consider is a claim of “tortious interference with contractual relations” or “intentional interference with prospective economic advantage.” For this to apply, the competitor would need to prove that your actions were wrongful (beyond mere competition) and caused measurable harm. Simply offering employment via social media in a professional manner, without encouraging employees to breach confidentiality or steal trade secrets, is unlikely to meet this threshold in California, especially given the state’s pro-competition stance.
- Q. Suspect financial fraud by accountant and ex-wife in California business taxes. Need next steps.
- A: First, I would suggest gathering all the documentation you have—tax returns, bank statements, invoices, payroll records, and anything else tied to your Corp’s finances since 2014. Make digital backups and store them somewhere safe.
Next, find a new independent accountant. A forensic accountant might be overkill right now, but if you’re set on digging deep, one with experience in small business fraud could be a good fit. Give them your records and ask for a full review of your 2023 filings, plus a look back at prior years for anything funky—like unreported income, odd deductions, or payments that don’t add up. Don’t mention your suspicions about manipulation upfront; let them flag ... Read More
