Summary

This bylaws template can be used by a Connecticut corporation to establish a framework and rules of conduct for the operation and management of its business. Initial bylaws of a corporation should be adopted by the initial directors of the company at the organizational meeting. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This template covers areas that are fundamental to the operation and management of a corporation, including shareholders' meetings, the corporation's directors and officers, executive and audit committees, amendments to the bylaws, share certificates and subscriptions, and the declaration of dividends. Bylaws may contain any provision that is not inconsistent with law or the certificate of incorporation.
