Document background
Corporate Minutes are essential legal documents required under Swiss corporate law for recording official company meetings and decisions. They serve as the formal record of proceedings at board meetings, shareholder meetings, and other significant corporate gatherings. These documents must be prepared in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations and maintain detailed accounts of attendance, discussions, and resolutions. Corporate Minutes are particularly crucial for demonstrating compliance with legal requirements, protecting company officers, and providing evidence of corporate decision-making. They may be required for submission to the Commercial Register, auditors, or regulatory authorities, and form part of the company's official records. The minutes must be signed by the appropriate officers (typically the chairman and secretary) and maintained in the company's records for the period required by law.
