What Is a Partner Buyout, and Who Needs One?<\/h2>\n

A partner buyout is the purchase of one member’s ownership stake in an LLC. The buyers are usually the remaining members, the company, or both. Buyouts often follow a retirement, a falling-out, a deadlock, or an exit the operating agreement already allows.<\/p>\n

Florida’s LLC law starts with the operating agreement. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0105<\/a>, the agreement governs relations among members and between members and the company. Where the agreement says nothing, the chapter’s default rules apply.<\/p>\n

Members also have the power to leave. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0601<\/a>, a member can withdraw at any time, rightfully or wrongfully. A withdrawal can be wrongful, such as when it breaks an express term of the operating agreement. Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0601<\/a> reads: “(2) A person\u2019s dissociation as a member is wrongful only if the dissociation: (a) Is in breach of an express provision of the operating agreement; or.” Florida’s limited liability company statute addresses when a member may leave a company and when that departure can be treated as wrongful, so the specific conditions should be reviewed against the company’s operating agreement and the statute itself. A member that is not an individual, an estate, or a trust other than a business trust also dissociates wrongfully if, before winding up is complete, it is expelled or otherwise dissociated because it willfully dissolved or terminated. A wrongful departure can make the member liable for damages to the company and the other members.<\/p>\n
