Document background
The Memorandum & Articles Of Association Constitution By Laws are essential founding documents required for establishing and operating a company in Austria. These documents are mandatory under Austrian law and must be prepared in accordance with the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), along with either the GmbH-Gesetz for limited liability companies or the Aktiengesetz for stock corporations. They establish the fundamental rules and procedures for company governance, outlining everything from basic company information to detailed operational procedures. The documents are particularly crucial during company formation, structural changes, dispute resolution, and ensuring compliance with Austrian corporate governance requirements. They serve as the primary reference point for shareholders, directors, and other stakeholders regarding their rights, obligations, and the company's internal procedures.
