2 min read · Updated April 2026 · Editorial oversight: Avv. Federico Papa
Minutes document the decisions of S.r.l. shareholders (arts. 2479 and 2479-bis Civil Code) and must be promptly transcribed into the shareholders' decisions book (art. 2478 Civil Code). Defective minutes expose resolutions to challenge under art. 2479-ter Civil Code.
In brief
S.r.l. meeting minutes document shareholder decisions under arts. 2479 and 2479-bis of the Italian Civil Code. This document requires transcription into the shareholders' decisions book per art. 2478 Civil Code to avoid challenges under art. 2479-ter Civil Code. AI assisted drafting must verify convocation methods, quotas, and meeting constitution. Records must include agenda items, dissents, and deliberative quorums. Charter amendments necessitate notarized minutes under art. 2480 Civil Code. Minutes include signatures from the chairperson and secretary, prompt transcription, and filing with the Companies Register.
The steps
- 1.
Verify convocation and quorum
Record the convocation method or full attendance status under art. 2479-bis, para. 5, Civil Code, specifying the attendees, quotas represented, and valid constitution of the meeting.
- 2.
Document the discussion
Record the agenda items, a summary of interventions, and statements shareholders expressly request to have entered into the record, including dissents relevant for potential challenges.
- 3.
Formalise the resolutions
For each resolution, state the approved text, the deliberative quorum met, and the vote outcome. Charter amendments require notarised minutes drafted by a public notary under art. 2480 Civil Code.
- 4.
Sign and transcribe
Have the chairperson and secretary sign the minutes, transcribe them promptly into the shareholders' decisions book, and file them with the Companies Register where required by law.
