A corporate resolution is a formal written record of actions approved by a company’s board of directors or shareholders.
We help ensure the resolution uses precise language, follows proper form, and aligns with governing documents and applicable law.
Typically, a resolution authorizes a specific action, such as opening a bank account, entering into a contract, or appointing officers, and includes key details like date, action, and scope.
Core elements include the action being approved, the date, the names of authorizees, and the signatures of those approving the resolution. The process usually involves drafting, board or shareholder approval, and proper filing or retention.
