Corporate and M&A legal support
Board minutes and consents
Minutes drafted three months late from a memory of the meeting are a governance problem. We draft them from your notes within days, to the standard the company's own bylaws require, with the approval thresholds checked against the charter.

What it costs, and what it replaces
Both figures are published ranges for the same unit of work. Ours is fixed before we start; if our process gets faster, that is our gain and your price does not move.

How the work runs
01
Governance check
We check the bylaws for quorum, notice and approval thresholds before drafting, since minutes recording a validly taken action incorrectly are as much of a problem as an invalid action.
02
Drafting
Minutes are drafted in the company's established format from your notes, recording what was considered and resolved without editorialising about the discussion.
03
Resolution precision
Resolutions are drafted in operative language, naming the action, the authority relied on and the officers empowered to execute, rather than a general statement of approval.
04
Checklist and delivery
The document arrives with a signature and filing checklist, and any threshold or conflicts issue we spotted is flagged for your review.
What we need from you
- Meeting notes, the agenda and any materials circulated
- The bylaws, operating agreement or charter
- The current director and officer list
- Prior minutes, for format and continuity
What we check before delivery
- Approval thresholds are checked against the charter and bylaws for each action recorded
- Quorum arithmetic is verified against the director list in place on the date
- Interested-director and conflicts procedures are checked where the subject matter requires them
- Continuity with prior minutes is checked, including numbering and unfinished business
When firms send us this
- Companies whose minute books have fallen behind by several quarters
- Transaction approvals needing consents drafted quickly and correctly
- Pre-diligence cleanup where every historic action must be properly documented
- Outside general counsel practices carrying governance for several clients
Questions about board minutes and consents
Do you attend the meeting?
No. We draft from your notes or the secretary's, usually within 48 hours, which is early enough that anything ambiguous can still be checked against people's recollection.
Can you fix a backlog?
Yes. Backlogs are drafted from whatever materials exist, with a gap list of actions we can see were taken but cannot document. That list is itself a useful diligence artefact.
Do you advise on whether an approval is valid?
We check thresholds against the governing documents and flag concerns. Whether an action was validly taken is a legal conclusion for the engaging attorney.
