California Corporations CodeThe California Corporations Code is the law governing the formation, operation, and wind up and dissolution of corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships (LPs), limited liability partnerhips (LLPs), and limited liability companies (LLCs) in the State of California. It also governs relations between corporate shareholders (and partners in a general partnership or LLP, members in a limited liability company), the conduct of annual and special shareholders', board of directors', and members'/managers' meetings, and disputes among these parties, among other things. Corporations and LLCs are creatures of state (rather than federal) law; that is, the organization of these business entities is governed by the state law of the state in which the entity is formed.

The California Corporations Code consists of the following acts and subsections (an index is also available):
