Corporate Board Resolution Template for Germany

Corporate Board Resolutions are essential governance documents in the German corporate legal framework, used to formally document decisions made by either the management board (Vorstand) or supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat). These resolutions are required when making significant company decisions such as appointing officers, approving major transactions, establishing new policies, or making changes to corporate structure. The document must comply with German corporate law, particularly the Aktiengesetz (Stock Corporation Act) or GmbH-Gesetz (Limited Liability Company Act), depending on the company form. Corporate Board Resolutions may need to be filed with the German Commercial Register (Handelsregister) and may require notarization for certain types of decisions. The two-tier board system in Germany, with separate management and supervisory boards, makes these resolutions particularly important for maintaining clear documentation of corporate decision-making and ensuring proper corporate governance.
