An operating agreement is a crucial document for your Agency LLC in the District of Columbia. It outlines the ownership, responsibilities, and operational procedures of your company. While not legally required in DC, it's highly recommended to protect your business and ensure smooth operations in 2026.
Even though the District of Columbia does not mandate an operating agreement, it's essential for several reasons. It clarifies member roles, protects personal assets by reinforcing the LLC's separate legal entity status, prevents misunderstandings, and provides a framework for dispute resolution. For agencies, it's especially important to define intellectual property ownership related to client work and the handling of client funds.
