Digital Minute

Books.

At Wires Law we operate a paperless legal practice, which includes the management of corporate minute books.  Traditionally, corporate minutes books were compiled in large dusty old binders and stored either at a lawyer’s office or at the corporate headquarters. At Wires Law, when instructed to maintain a client’s minute book we do so digitally. If you have an existing hard copy minute book we will convert it to a digital file and maintain additions to the digital file as an when new corporate resolutions are passed.
