The certificate makes the entity exist; the operating agreement or bylaws decide how it runs. A GTC attorney drafts the internal rulebook for your LLC or corporation — management and voting, capital and distributions, transfer restrictions, and dissolution. Commercial terms stay your call; we put them into an enforceable document.
From $495 Standard agreement on a flat fee; complex structures quoted upfront
Trusted by founders and brands worldwide
How it works
Sixty minutes. Who owns what, member-managed or manager-managed, how decisions and votes work, the distribution split, and what happens when an owner leaves. The structure is the hard part; the drafting follows from it.
The operating agreement or bylaws are drafted to the agreed structure, alongside your certificate of formation so the internal rules and the public filing do not conflict. All owners review the draft before it is executed.
One round of owner or co-counsel revisions is included. The final document is executed and stored in the company's records, ready to bind new members or shareholders as they join.
What it costs
Operating Agreement & Bylaws Drafting starts from $495. A standard single- or multi-member operating agreement, or a set of corporate bylaws, is a flat fee quoted before any work starts. Manager-managed, multi-class, and joint-venture structures are scoped on the structure call and quoted upfront, so you approve the fee before drafting begins. Any government, registration, or filing fees are passed through at cost.
What's included
GTC drafts the agreement and advises on legal structure. Ownership, distribution, and commercial terms are the owners' decision. This is not tax or investment advice; where needed we coordinate a tax adviser, and no outcome is guaranteed.
Get started
Tell us about the company and the owners and a GTC attorney will draft the document and email a flat-fee quote.
Your request
Legal name of the entity.
LLC = Operating Agreement. Corporation = Bylaws (+ optionally a Stockholders' Agreement).
E.g. 'Delaware', 'Wyoming', 'India'. Drives the default statutory framework.
List each owner + their ownership % + role (founder / passive investor / employee with equity / etc.).
Pick all that apply. 'Standard' will use sensible defaults.
Why GTC
A GTC attorney drafts every clause to your ownership split and structure. Management, voting, capital accounts, and distributions are tuned to the company, not pulled from a generic form that ignores how you run it.
The operating agreement or bylaws are drafted alongside your certificate of formation or articles of incorporation, so the internal rulebook and the public filing do not contradict each other. Conflicts between the two are where governance disputes start.
Transfer restrictions, buy-sell mechanics, and dissolution paths are drafted before they are needed. What happens when an owner wants out, dies, or stops contributing is decided up front rather than litigated later.
For single-member LLCs, a proper operating agreement helps keep the liability shield intact by showing the company is run as a separate entity. For corporations, bylaws set the governance a bank, investor, or court expects to see.
