Draft board consents and resolutions from the meeting papers
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Draft written consents and resolutions that track the decisions in the meeting papers the lawyer supplies, and list every director who must consent.
- What the lawyer must review
- Under Delaware General Corporation Law § 141(f), action that could be taken at a board or committee meeting may be taken without a meeting if all members consent in writing or by electronic transmission, unless the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws restrict that path. A consent timed for the future is effective no later than 60 days after the instruction, and only if the person is then a director and has not revoked. Read the certificate and the bylaws, and confirm every required consent, before anyone signs. Other states use their own business-corporation statute.
