What this covers
Dissolution is the legal process of winding up an LLC's affairs and ending its existence. The work covers member or manager vote, notice to creditors, asset liquidation or distribution, final tax filings, and articles of dissolution with the Tennessee Secretary of State.
Where dissolution is contested — deadlock, oppression, or other grounds for judicial dissolution — the work extends into pre-suit posture and, where appropriate, court action under the Tennessee Revised LLC Act.
Who this is for
Members closing a defunct or completed LLC. Multi-member LLCs at deadlock where dissolution is the path forward. Real-estate LLCs ending after the property is sold or transferred. Members facing minority oppression who need a judicial-dissolution analysis.
Tennessee specifics
Tennessee LLCs that fail to file annual reports or wind up properly can leave members exposed to administrative dissolution and lingering liabilities. A clean dissolution closes franchise-and-excise tax exposure and avoids zombie-entity problems years later.
Process and timeline
Voluntary dissolution typically completes within four to eight weeks, depending on creditor notice and final tax timing. Contested dissolution extends with the litigation timeline. Hourly billing with retainers sized to the matter; capped pricing available for straightforward voluntary closures.
How to start
Send the operating agreement, current member list, and the reason for dissolution. Fit and pricing generally returned within one business day.
