The Supreme Voice of Corporate Will
A Resolution of the General Assembly (Genel Kurul Kararı) is the highest level of corporate decision-making within a company or organization. It represents the collective will of the shareholders or members on critical matters such as capital increases, the election of the board of directors, amendments to the articles of association, or the approval of financial statements. In the world of international business, a certified translation of these resolutions is mandatory for registering foreign branches, opening international bank accounts, or finalizing cross-border mergers.
In the realm of corporate governance, there is zero tolerance for ambiguity. A mistranslated “Quorum Requirement,” an error in “Capital Allotment,” or an ambiguous rendering of “Discharge of Liability” (İbra) can lead to the invalidation of corporate actions, legal disputes between shareholders, and the rejection of filings by foreign trade registries. Precision in Commercial Law, Corporate Secretariat Standards, and Legal Jurisprudence is absolute.

Legal Precision and Procedural Integrity: Our Process
Translating a General Assembly Resolution requires a deep understanding of corporate law and formal meeting protocols. Our process ensures total legal reliability:
Legal & Corporate Specialists: Your document is handled by a Sworn Translator specializing in Corporate and Commercial Law. They ensure that terms like “Unanimous Vote,” “Simple Majority,” “Executive Representation,” and “Capital Subscription” are rendered with 100% legal accuracy according to the target jurisdiction’s norms.
ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards:
- Procedural Audit: We perform a meticulous verification of the “Meeting Minutes” structure, ensuring that the date, venue, list of attendees, and the agenda items are translated with zero errors, as these are vital for the document’s legal validity.
- Numerical & Data Verification: We triple-check all figures related to share percentages, capital amounts, and voting ratios to ensure the financial essence of the resolution remains intact.
Format Mirroring: General Assembly resolutions often include specific notarized layouts and lists of signatures. We provide a “Mirrored Layout,” replicating the structure of the official minutes and the notary’s certification block, making it easy for foreign trade registries and banks to verify.
Confidentiality: Corporate resolutions contain sensitive strategic data and shareholder information. We operate under strict NDAs and the KVKK (Data Protection Law) to ensure your internal decisions remain secure.
