Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance Agreement
Texas
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.
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.
Corporate Governance
Corporation Agreement
Texas
Can I form a corporation with multiple shareholders and still maintain control over the decision-making process?
I am considering forming a corporation with multiple shareholders for my new business venture, but I am concerned about maintaining control over the decision-making process. I want to ensure that my vision for the company is not compromised by the opinions or actions of other shareholders, so I would like to know if there are any legal mechanisms or strategies available to me that would allow me to retain control over key decisions and protect my interests as the majority shareholder.
Darryl S.
If you are the majority shareholder and intend to retain majority ownership, then standard shareholder voting of majority would leave you in control. If your shares eventually become less than the majority, you can maintain control through several key mechanisms: establish a dual-class share structure where your shares carry multiple votes per share while investors get single-vote shares, allowing you to retain voting control even with less than 50% ownership. Additionally, implement supermajority voting requirements for major decisions and structure shareholder agreements that give you veto power over key corporate actions. Consider requiring board composition that ensures you can appoint the majority of directors. You likely want to put these in place at the beginning.
Corporate Governance
Corporate Resolution
Texas
Can a corporate resolution be revoked or amended after it has been adopted?
I am the CEO of a small corporation and recently our board of directors adopted a corporate resolution to authorize a significant business transaction. However, since then, new information has come to light that suggests the transaction may not be in the best interest of the company. I am wondering if it is possible to revoke or amend the corporate resolution that was previously adopted in order to prevent the transaction from moving forward.
Lorraine C.
I would highly recommend you have an attorney review this issue for you. There are many questions that require resolution prior to knowing whether the board’s action can be amended or revoked, including what your company’s foundational documents say about the powers of the board and the CEO. Further, without reading the resolution, I am not able to determine whether the board resolution simply allows the course of action if determined prudent (in which case, no modification necessary) or if the board is actually mandating the course of action. Regardless, a competent attorney should be able to advise you. I would be happy to assist if you like.
Corporate Governance
Articles of Incorporation
New York
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.
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.
Corporate Governance
Articles of Association
Ohio
Can a company amend its Articles of Association without shareholder approval?
I am a shareholder in a company and recently discovered that the company has amended its Articles of Association without seeking shareholder approval. I am concerned about this as I believe that shareholders should have a say in changes that affect their rights and interests. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for a company to make such amendments without shareholder approval, and if not, what actions can I take to address this issue?
Darryl S.
Amending a company's Articles of Association typically requires shareholder approval. The specific requirements can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the company's governing documents. You'll need to carefully review those documents and speak with an attorney about next steps if the amendment was not properly executed.
