Prepare the appropriate approval record for a proposed director appointment and related authorisations.

01 / THE BIG PICTURE

The right support.
With the details in view.

A director appointment resolution is a formal record of the appropriate corporate approval for an appointment. The correct route depends on the company’s constitution, the proposed position and company law. We organise approval wording and authorisations; consent, eligibility checks, registers and applicable registry filings must also be completed separately.

First, establish what applies

Documents should reflect the transaction, parties, location and applicable law. Drafting, legal advice, disputes, execution, stamping and registration need appropriate professional review; a template alone does not complete those steps.

What the scoped work can cover

  • Appointment resolution draft
  • Approval and supporting-record checklist
  • Register and filing action list

05 / A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Good questions.
Useful answers.

01Is a board resolution always enough?+

No. The appointment type and company circumstances may also require member approval or other steps.

02Does the draft include DIR-12 filing?+

Preparing the approval record and making the registry filing are distinct tasks. Include filing only when expressly scoped.

03Can a resolution be backdated?+

It should accurately record a real decision and its date. Missing historical approvals need a lawful corrective review.
