In a shareholders' agreement, the shareholders decide, among other things, on the legal relationships of the shareholders, the registered office of the company and the management and representation powers. Further resolutions may be passed in shareholders' meetings. Resolutions which, in particular, provide for an amendment of the articles of association require notarial certification. These include, for example, capital increases, capital reductions and resolutions on conversion.
Resolutions such as the appointment or dismissal of managing directors or authorised signatories, the dissolution of branches or the dissolution of the company do not require additional notarisation. However, the resolutions must be certified by a notary and registered in the commercial register.
Our notaries in Darmstadt will be happy to advise you on this and will also prepare company resolutions for you that do not need to be notarised.
