Document background
The Delegation Letter is a crucial governance document used in Swiss business practice when an organization or individual needs to formally transfer specific authorities or responsibilities to another party. This document type is particularly important in Swiss corporate environments where clear documentation of authority delegation is required for legal and compliance purposes. The Delegation Letter must comply with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and typically includes detailed information about the scope of delegation, limitations, duration, and any specific conditions attached to the delegated authority. It's commonly used during temporary assignments, strategic reorganizations, or when establishing permanent reporting structures, and serves as official evidence of the delegate's authority to act on behalf of the delegator.
