Document background
An Authorization Letter is a crucial legal instrument under Swiss law that facilitates delegation of authority or representation rights. This document is commonly used when an individual or entity needs to authorize another party to act on their behalf, whether for specific transactions, administrative matters, or ongoing business activities. The Authorization Letter must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations regarding agency and representation. It typically includes detailed identification of both parties, precise scope of authorized activities, duration of the authorization, and any specific limitations or conditions. The document may require notarization or official authentication, especially for use in regulated sectors or international contexts. Its format and content can be adapted to various business needs while maintaining compliance with Swiss legal frameworks.
