01
Discovery & KYC
We map control, purpose, and timeline, then complete enhanced due diligence on beneficial owners and signatories. This is where we confirm scope, board powers, and reporting cadence-the foundation for the steps to hire a nominee director that fit your risk profile.
02
Drafting & Resolutions
Our legal team prepares board papers and contracts, including the appointment of nominee director resolution (also referred to as a resolution for appointment of nominee director) plus indemnities, limitations of authority, and service agreements. For India mandates, we align documents with the appointment of nominee director companies act 2013 framework and any lender covenants. For Canada, drafting reflects provincial companies legislation and federal corporate law as applicable.
03
Filings & Onboarding
We coordinate corporate registry updates, bank attestations, and compliance notices, following the procedure for appointment of nominee director relevant to your jurisdiction. If your province or structure requires one, we execute the resident director appointment procedure and file evidence for your records. We also handle AOA/bylaw updates where relevant.

04
Governance & Continuity
Post‑appointment, we implement controls: signing thresholds, board calendars, and reporting channels. Where your financing or shareholder agreement stipulates that a nominee director cannot be removed by company without the nominator’s consent, we track those conditions and help you document compliance to avoid disputes.
