Bespoke Articles Of Association

"I need Bespoke Articles of Association for a Swiss technology startup with dual share classes (A and B shares), authorized capital provisions, and specific share transfer restrictions for early-stage investors, to be implemented by March 2025."

Document background
Bespoke Articles of Association are required when establishing a new company in Switzerland or when making substantial modifications to an existing company's fundamental structure. This document, which must comply with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, serves as the company's constitutional foundation. It contains mandatory elements such as company name, purpose, share capital, and governance structures, while allowing for customization to suit specific business needs. The document must be notarized and registered with the Commercial Register to be legally effective. Bespoke Articles of Association are particularly important when companies have specific requirements that go beyond standard templates, such as multiple share classes, special voting rights, or specific transfer restrictions.
