Court of Appeals of North Carolina February 1, 2011, COA09-1020 (Mitchell, Brewer, Richardson, Adams, Burge & Boughman, PLLC v. Brewer)

STROUD, Judge.

An old saying declares that “the cobbler’s children have no shoes.” Lawyers may suffer from the same problem, if they are too busy dealing with their clients’ legal affairs to address their own. This case arises because the members of a law firm organized as a PLLC did not adopt an operating agreement or any other documents governing the operation of the PLLC.
