Write the operating agreement before you need it
The filing makes the company. The operating agreement decides what happens when a partner leaves, stops working or wants out. Six questions to answer while everyone still agrees.
Business law · Cleveland
We’re three business lawyers in the Warehouse District. We set up companies, write and read the contracts owners sign, settle the fights that follow, and sit in as outside counsel for companies with no lawyer on staff.

The ten-minute talk
Mirko walks through a real-looking supplier agreement, page by page, and stops at the five clauses that cost owners the most when a deal goes sideways.
Rather read it? The same talk is written up as a guide, with the clause wording to look for.

Guides
Short guides from the three of us, on the papers owners sign most.

Price and quantity are the parts you negotiated. The five clauses that decide who pays when an order goes wrong are usually on page six.
What we do
Most owners need us for one of these. Plenty come back for the other three.
The LLC or corporation, the operating agreement, the ownership split and the first hires, papered before money changes hands.
Company setup, in detailCustomer terms, supplier agreements, commercial leases and NDAs. We write yours, or read theirs and tell you what to push back on.
Contract work, in detailUnpaid invoices, partners splitting up, a vendor who won’t deliver. We try a demand letter and a deal first, and court when that fails.
Disputes, in detailA monthly plan: send us the contract, the HR question or the angry email, and hear back within a business day.
