This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases
Corporate attorneys handling general corporate matters need to prepare shareholder meeting minutes for routine annual meetings, special meetings, and corporate compliance documentation.
Shareholder meeting minutes are fundamental corporate documents required across all corporate practice areas, not just governance-specific work, making this workflow essential for general corporate practitioners.
M&A transactions require shareholder approval meetings where minutes document voting on merger agreements, asset sales, and other extraordinary corporate transactions.
Shareholder meeting minutes approving M&A transactions are essential closing documents and corporate records that must be prepared accurately to evidence proper authorization of the transaction.
During and immediately after corporate formation, attorneys must document initial shareholder meetings where directors are elected, bylaws adopted, and organizational resolutions passed.
The organizational meeting of shareholders is a critical step in corporate formation, requiring properly formatted minutes to establish the corporate record and demonstrate compliance with formation requirements.
Non-profit organizations must maintain member meeting minutes for annual meetings, special meetings, and votes on significant organizational matters to maintain tax-exempt status and corporate compliance.
Non-profit member meetings function similarly to shareholder meetings, requiring the same documentation standards and formalities, making this workflow directly applicable with minor adaptations.
Securities attorneys need shareholder meeting minutes to document proxy voting results, disclosure of material information to shareholders, and compliance with SEC and state securities regulations.
Public companies and securities issuers must maintain detailed shareholder meeting records as part of their regulatory compliance obligations, making accurate minute preparation critical for securities practice.
You'll need basic meeting details (date, time, location), voting results for director elections and any proposals, and attendance information to establish quorum. CaseMark can extract this information from uploaded documents like meeting agendas, proxy tabulations, or voting reports. Optionally, you can provide bylaws and previous minutes for enhanced accuracy and compliance verification.
CaseMark's AI is trained on corporate governance requirements across all states and verifies that your minutes include all legally required elements such as quorum establishment, proper notice documentation, and accurate voting records. The system cross-references your bylaws to confirm compliance with specific quorum and voting thresholds. If any potential compliance issues are detected, they're flagged for your review before finalizing the document.
Yes, CaseMark generates minutes for both annual and special shareholder meetings. The system adapts the document structure based on the meeting type, ensuring that annual meeting minutes include standard items like director elections and auditor ratification, while special meeting minutes focus on the specific matters for which the meeting was called. Both formats maintain full compliance with corporate governance requirements.

The system automatically calculates whether quorum was met and whether proposals received the required vote thresholds based on your bylaws. All numerical data is verified for consistency, and any discrepancies are highlighted for your review before the final document is generated.
The minutes are generated as a professionally formatted document suitable for immediate inclusion in your corporate minute book. The output uses proper legal formatting with clear sections, consistent terminology, and formal language appropriate for an official corporate record.
