Creating meeting minutes using technology can be a fast and easy way of recording resolutions. As an important legal document, care should be taken to ensure the effectiveness of the resolutions and legal compliance.
Cassandra Townsend, Thomson ReutersThe benefits of using technology to create meeting minutes include:
When you use Cleardocs to create meeting minutes, you will receive a complete, personalised minute. The minute will be fully customised based on your answers in the question interface and ready to be reviewed and signed by the meeting chair, or if a circulating resolution, by the relevant decision makers.
The customisation includes the insertion or setting of a meeting date. The Cleardocs position is that this avoids the legal issues of different incongruous dates being included and documents being executed but undated.
