A corporate resolution is a formal written decision adopted by the boards or shareholders that authorizes a specific action. It documents who approved the action, what is being approved, and the effective date. This document is a record of authority used to engage in contracts, sign agreements, or authorize transactions on behalf of the company.
Typically, directors or officers with delegated authority sign the resolution. In some cases, a majority vote of the board or shareholders is required. Our team helps determine who must sign and ensures the proper process is followed.
Written consent can be appropriate for straightforward actions that do not require a meeting. It is important to confirm that the action can be approved without a meeting under bylaws and applicable law. We help you determine when this approach is suitable.
Notarization is not always required for corporate resolutions, but certain situations and jurisdictions may request or benefit from notarized copies. We can advise on the best practice for your case.
