Document background
The Meeting Minutes Form is a vital corporate governance tool used to maintain official records of meetings in Switzerland. This document type is essential for compliance with Swiss corporate law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), which requires detailed documentation of corporate meetings, decisions, and resolutions. The form is designed to capture all legally required elements, including attendance, quorum verification, voting results, and formal resolutions. It serves multiple purposes: providing legal evidence of decisions made, informing absent stakeholders, tracking action items, and meeting regulatory requirements. The document is particularly important for submissions to the Swiss Commercial Register and can be crucial in legal proceedings or audits. The Meeting Minutes Form should be used for all formal business meetings, including board meetings, shareholder assemblies, and committee meetings, where official record-keeping is required under Swiss law.
