You never know what you\u2019re gonna get.&#8221;\u00a0 This statement applies to\u00a0Section 29-3409 of the new Arizona Limited Liability Company Act (ALLCA) effective September 1, 2019.\u00a0 Members who are subject to\u00a0Section 29-3409 will NEVER know what they get under this statute until they win or lose a law suit for breach of one or more of the new duties levied on members of member managed Arizona LLCs.\u00a0 This new law imposes fiduciary duties for the first time on members of all member managed Arizona LLCs. Instead of calling the ALLCA by its full legal name, I frequently refer to ALLCA as the Arizona Liability Company Act because of the many fiduciary duties the new law levies on members of member managed Arizona LLCs.\u00a0 New duties means new potential liabilities imposed on members that can cause them to be named as defendants in lawsuits and to be liable for attorneys&#8217; fees and damages. Fortunately most of the new fiduciary duties levied on members and managers of Arizona LLCs under ALLCA can be eliminated or modified by a well drafted Operating Agreement.\u00a0 Members of Arizona LLCs that hire a competent Arizona LLC attorney will be able to sign an ALLCA compliant Operating Agreement.\u00a0 Unfortunately it will be the unsuspecting members of member managed multi-member Arizona LLCs that lack an ALLCA compliant Operating Agreement that will be subject to the new fiduciary duties.\u00a0 These new duties levied on members and mangers are a litigation attorney&#8217;s dream because they will have many new reasons to sue members of multi-member Arizona LLCs that are member managed.
