Annual general meeting – legal certainty with professional legal support

The annual general meeting is a central decision-making body in a company, where shareholders exercise their rights and make important decisions. For this reason, company law and the company’s articles of association impose strict requirements on both preparation and conduct. Even small procedural errors can lead to invalid decisions—with serious consequences for the company.

At KROMANN Law Firm, we offer professional legal advice and assistance in connection with both ordinary and extraordinary general meetings—whether you need help with preparation, execution, or post-meeting registration.

Why consider legal assistance for your annual general meeting?

Although owners or management can conduct the meeting themselves, it is often a valuable investment to involve a lawyer—especially when there are:

complex agenda items
specific requirements in the articles of association
risk of shareholder disagreement
need for neutral chairing of the meeting
requirement for correct registration of decisions

We often see that mistakes made during an annual general meeting are only discovered afterwards—and correcting them can be both time-consuming and costly.

We support you throughout the entire process

At KROMANN Law Firm, you gain access to experienced corporate lawyers who ensure that your general meeting is conducted correctly from start to finish. We assist with:

preparation of legally required documents (notice, agenda, proposals, etc.)
compliance with articles of association and company law requirements
professional chairing of the meeting as meeting facilitator
preparation of legally correct minutes
registration of decisions with the Danish Business Authority
assistance with written or electronic general meetings

Who can participate—and how?

Shareholders may attend in person or by proxy. It is also possible to be represented by an advisor, such as a lawyer, who can safeguard your interests.

Annual general meetings may be held physically or electronically if permitted by the articles of association. In companies with few owners, decisions can often be made by written resolution without a physical meeting.

Ordinary or extraordinary general meeting?

Under Danish company law, companies must hold an ordinary general meeting at least once a year—typically to approve the annual report and decide on profit distribution.

Extraordinary general meetings may be held when needed—for example in case of changes in management, capital structure, or company organisation.

Choose the solution that fits your company

We offer flexible services depending on your needs, including:

full assistance before, during, and after the general meeting
acting as meeting chairman or legal advisor on the day
preparation of documents and minutes without attendance
registration of company changes with the Danish Business Authority
