Operating Agreement

​
These are legal documents defining the structure of the entity and governing how the entity shall operate. Please contact our office if your entity is in need of document drafting.

Our office can draft and review your contracts and documents to ensure your company is compliant with N.J. law including New Jersey "Contractors' Registration Act" and "Consumer Fraud Act."
