Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: corporation bylaws

By-laws do not need to be prepared or signed by an attonrey. Most pre-printed by laws are adequate. It naturally depends on the type of business you conduct. Please contact my office at 714 363 0220 to set up an appointment. I would like to review your written documentation including any letters. We handle cases throughout California. We can review your documentation by fax and speak with you by phone.

Re: corporation bylaws

Anyone can write them up. However, if anyone holds himself as competent to do that for you (or charges you for that service), that person should be an attorney. In any event, you can scribble them down yourself on an envelope if you like. The Board of Directors should approve/adopt them at the Organizational (first) Meeting of Directors.

While you surely CAN do the work yourself, be abvised that paying an attorney to do this work for you would probably be money well spent.

Re: corporation bylaws

Not need to be by a lawyer (though you may be being penny wise and pound foolish) and not need to be notarised.

Re: corporation bylaws

Not sure what you mean by bylaws "form". They should be custom-drafted to fit the unique circumstances of you/your corp. This should be done by an attorney. Doing it yourself you are unlikely to put in provisions that you see no need for now, but will be invaluable later on in your corporation's life. There is no need to have bylaws notarized; they only need be adopted, kept with the corporate records, and available for shareholder inspection.
