A corporate resolution is a formal written decision approved by a company’s board of directors or shareholders to authorize a specific action. It serves as the official record of authority and guides execution. By documenting who may act, under what authority, and when, resolutions help prevent unauthorized actions and support reliable governance.
Typically, an authorized officer, director, or another designated signatory signs the resolution. The exact signatories depend on the company’s bylaws and the action being approved. Always verify who has signing authority in your governing documents.
Timeline varies with complexity, the number of parties involved, and the need for approvals. A straightforward action may be completed in a few days, while more complex actions can take several weeks. We provide an estimated timeline during the initial consultation.
While it’s possible to draft resolutions in-house, having a California-knowledgeable attorney helps ensure the language reflects current governance standards, complies with state law, and minimizes risk. We assist with drafting, review, and filing.
