Document background
The Board Resolution For Appointment of Legal Representative is a crucial corporate governance document used when a company operating in Nigeria needs to formally authorize an individual to act as its legal representative. This document is essential for compliance with Nigerian corporate law, particularly the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, and is typically required when companies need representation in legal proceedings, contract negotiations, or dealings with government authorities. The resolution must be properly executed during a valid board meeting, documenting the appointment details, scope of authority, and duration of the representation. It serves as evidence of the representative's authority and is often required by third parties as proof of the representative's capacity to act on behalf of the company.
