By-Laws are like the official rule book of a corporation. They provide the corporation with the basic framework which governs how a company operates. By-Laws will set forth the rights and responsibilities of the officers, directors and shareholders. Some of the provisions contained in By-Laws are fairly standard, such as setting out voting procedures, or the issuance of company stock. Other provisions unique to your company requirements can be added accordingly. By-Laws should always include information pertaining to the rights and responsibilities of the shareholders, directors and officers. They also need to outline a protocol for handling financial matters and a procedure for amending the By-Laws. Once the document is prepared the directors and shareholders will need to formally adopt the By-Laws at their first meeting. These forms are not filed with the state (as are the Articles of Incorporation) but are kept in the corporate record book of the corporation. While By-Laws are used by corporations, they are also used with other types of business entities such as limited liability companies and partnerships.

It is important to note that properly drafted corporate documents are not only good business but can protect you from lawsuits in the future. It is important to have all of the company’s corporate documents up-to-date and in place. Failure to do so could result in personal liability should a lawsuit ever arise. This is called “piercing the corporate veil.”
