ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION IN COMPANY DRAFTING

Just like the MOA, the Articles of Association are also equally important. As the provisions of section 2 clause (2) define an AOA means the by-laws and the statute of the company that administers the internal affairs and conduct of the company.

The companies which should have their own AOA are:

  • Private companies limited by shares
  • Companies limited by guarantee
  • Companies with unlimited liabilities of their members

  • The companies who fall under the category of the limited by guarantee or unlimited liability will adopt the regulations of table C, D, E of schedule 1.
