I am a business, Internet, and intellectual property lawyer. My practice is split between both transactional work and litigation. Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas.

Corporate Governance Legal Questions and Answers

Corporate Governance

Corporate Resolution

California

Asked on Aug 11, 2024

What is a Corporate Resolution and how is it used in business?

I am currently working as a manager in a small business and we are in the process of making important decisions regarding the company's operations and financial matters. I have heard about the concept of a Corporate Resolution but I am not entirely clear on what it entails and how it is used in a business setting. I would like to understand the purpose and significance of a Corporate Resolution, as well as the legal requirements and implications associated with it, so that I can ensure our decision-making process is legally sound and in compliance with corporate governance standards.

Jonathan W.

Answered Sep 10, 2024

A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a binding decision made by a corporation's board of directors or shareholders. It outlines the actions the company intends to take and serves as an official record of these decisions. Corporate resolutions are legally binding and hold significant implications for the company, its directors, and shareholders. Here's a breakdown of their purpose, significance, legal requirements, and implications: Purpose: Corporate resolutions document important decisions, ensuring transparency and accountability within the company. They provide a clear record of the decision-making process and the individuals involved. Additionally, they can be used to demonstrate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Significance: Corporate resolutions serve as evidence of a company's actions and can be used to enforce agreements, resolve disputes, and defend against legal challenges. They also play a crucial role in maintaining corporate governance and protecting the interests of shareholders. Legal Requirements: The specific legal requirements for corporate resolutions vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the decision being made. However, some common requirements include: - Proper Authorization: The resolution must be approved by the appropriate corporate body, such as the board of directors or shareholders, following the company's bylaws and applicable laws. - Clear and Unambiguous Language: The resolution should be written in clear and concise language, leaving no room for misinterpretation. - Proper Execution: The resolution must be signed and dated by authorized individuals, typically the corporate secretary or other designated officers. - Record Keeping: The resolution should be maintained in the company's official records for future reference. Legal Implications: Corporate resolutions have several legal implications, including: - Binding Effect: Once adopted, a corporate resolution is legally binding on the company and its stakeholders. - Liability: Directors and officers can be held personally liable for actions taken based on a resolution that is illegal, fraudulent, or violates the company's bylaws. - Enforceability: Corporate resolutions can be used to enforce agreements and contracts entered into by the company. In conclusion, corporate resolutions are essential tools for documenting and formalizing important corporate decisions. They ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with legal requirements, while also protecting the interests of the company and its stakeholders.

Corporate Governance

Board Consent

California

Asked on Oct 8, 2024

Can a board of directors make decisions without unanimous consent?

I am a member of a non-profit organization's board of directors, and we have been facing challenges regarding decision-making and consent. Currently, our bylaws state that all decisions must be made with unanimous consent from the board members. However, this requirement has proven to be cumbersome and has resulted in a lack of progress on important matters. I am wondering if it is legally permissible for our board to make decisions without unanimous consent, and if so, what steps we need to take to update our bylaws to reflect this change.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 18, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. So generally the answer to your question is no; if the bylaws state that there must be unanimous consent from the board, then there isn't a way for the board to make decisions without this consent. What you guys would need to do is have a vote to change the bylaws that something like a majority or 2/3 vote is sufficient moving forward.

Corporate Governance Agreement

Texas

Asked on Apr 10, 2025

What are the legal requirements for corporate governance?

As a business owner, I recently expanded my company and appointed a board of directors to ensure effective decision-making and accountability. However, I am unsure about the legal requirements for corporate governance and want to ensure that I am in compliance with all necessary regulations and best practices. I would like to know what specific laws and regulations apply to corporate governance, including the role and responsibilities of directors, disclosure requirements, and any potential liabilities I should be aware of.

Jennifer B.

Answered May 6, 2025

It is great that you're thinking about corporate governance as you expand. Corporate governance requirements depend on your entity type (corporation [C-Corp or S-Corp]/limited liability company) and state of formation and operations, which can differ. In addition to the state requirements, you are also governed by your Company Agreement or bylaws and their requirements. Effective corporate governance is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Companies and industries have unique challenges, but there are practical solutions that enhance governance while supporting business growth and innovation. Working with a lawyer who understands business can help you set up governance procedures for now and as you grow.

Articles of Incorporation

New York

Asked on Dec 23, 2024

Can you provide me with information on the role and responsibilities of a registered agent in a business entity?

I recently started a small business and I have been advised to appoint a registered agent for my company. However, I am not fully aware of the role and responsibilities of a registered agent and how they can benefit my business. I would like to understand the legal requirements and obligations associated with this position, as well as how a registered agent can assist in ensuring compliance with state regulations and receiving important legal documents on behalf of my company.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 24, 2024

If a company registers to do business in a state where it does not have a physical presence, it must designate a registered agent in that state to accept legal documents. This ensures compliance with state laws and provides a reliable way to receive official communications. A company can appoint itself as its registered agent to receive legal documents if it has a physical address in that state. In that situation, there would be no need to have a separate registered agent. Some business owners who work from home opt for a registered agent service, which can help protect privacy by keeping the individual's home address off public records. Feel free to reach out if you want a consultation or other legal services.

Resolutions

New York

Asked on May 5, 2025

Are resolutions legally binding?

I am a board member of a non-profit organization, and we recently passed a resolution to implement new policies and procedures for our members. However, some members are questioning the enforceability of these resolutions and whether they have any legal standing. We want to ensure that the resolutions we pass are legally binding and can be enforced if necessary. Can you please clarify the legal status of resolutions and their enforceability?

Megan B.

Answered May 6, 2025

Hello, the answer to this question largely depends on the organization's governance documents. If the Board properly passes a resolution, there is no law that says it must take that action, but generally I would recommend passing a further resolution to undo the action if the Board otherwise decides not to implement the action. Make sense?
