Bylaws Checklist (DE Corporation)

Summary

This bylaws checklist for a Delaware corporation outlines key provisions relevant to a Delaware corporation's bylaws. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, bylaws may contain any provision (not inconsistent with law or with the certificate of incorporation) relating to the business of the corporation, the conduct of its affairs, and its rights or powers or the rights or powers of its stockholders, directors, officers, or employees. While bylaws are permitted but not required under Delaware law, nearly all corporations adopt bylaws as a matter of good corporate governance. Del. Code Ann. tit. 8, § 109(c).
