Custom legal document

Management Board-regulations drafting

Have it drafted, amended, or reviewed by our legal experts and/or lawyers starting from 99
SME Lawyers

A division of tasks only provides protection if it is properly documented.
Without board regulations, in the event of a conflict or error, it is unclear who was responsible for what — and this increases the risk of directors' liability.

Custom choices

Which choices determine the content of your management regulations?

The correct structure depends on your board and governance. These choices determine which provisions you need.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
How many directors does the BV have? With multiple directors, a clear division of tasks and decision-making are essential.
Is there a supervisory board? You then define the relationship and approval powers between the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board.
Which decisions do you want to make subject to approval? Barriers to major investments or obligations protect the company.
How do you handle a vote tie? A deciding vote or escalation mechanism prevents a deadlock.
How do the regulations relate to the shareholders' agreement? Agreements may not contradict one another.
Clauses and provisions

What should be included in management regulations?

Which provisions you need depends on the size and complexity of your board. These are the sections with the legal focus that our legal experts pay attention to.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Division of tasks among directors Always Divide tasks and areas of focus; the board remains collectively responsible (Article 2:239 of the Dutch Civil Code).
Decision-making Always Establish meeting frequency, agenda, quorum, and voting ratio to prevent deadlocks.
Representation Always Determine who may bind the BV; you can frame the statutory authority (Article 2:240 of the Dutch Civil Code) internally.
Conflict of interest Always A director with a conflicting interest shall refrain from making decisions regarding it (Article 2:239, paragraph 6 of the Dutch Civil Code).
Approval decisions Often Specify which decisions require approval from the General Meeting of Shareholders or the Supervisory Board.
Information and accountability Always Rule how directors inform each other and the shareholders.
Relationship to the articles of association Always The regulations may not conflict with the articles of association or the law.
Establish and amend Always Specify how the regulations are adopted and amended.
Use in practice

How do you use management regulations correctly?

The regulations are only effective if they are complied with and remain up-to-date. Please note the following.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Upon determination Let the Board adopt and the General Meeting approve Without support and approval, the regulations lack authority.
In practice Act in accordance with the division of tasks as well Practice is taken into account in the assessment of liability.
In decisions Record decisions and any objections Documentation helps with later exoneration.
In the event of a change in the organization Update the regulations in a timely manner Outdated regulations create a false sense of security.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes regarding management regulations

We see these errors most frequently in practice, with consequences for directors' liability.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
No regulations apply to multiple directors Lack of clarity and conflicts regarding powers Document the division of tasks and decision-making.
Regulations in conflict with the articles of association Provisions are invalid Align regulations and articles of association.
Ignoring conflicting interests Decision challengeable, risk of liability Apply the provisions of Article 2:239 paragraph 6 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Draft regulations and put them in the drawer False sense of security Also actually act upon it and keep it up to date.
Use a standard model Does not fit your board Custom solutions tailored to your governance.
Risk profile

Which board do you have and what do you pay attention to?

The emphasis varies depending on the situation. If you recognize your case, you know where the focus should lie.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Multi-member board Two or more drivers Division of tasks, decision-making, and exoneration.
Board with external investor Investor wants control Approval decisions and information rights.
Management Board with Supervisory Board Supervisory body Relationship and approval powers of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board.
Family or joint venture Personal relationships Clear decision-making and an escalation procedure.
Additional documents

What else do you need besides management regulations?

The regulations govern the internal functioning of the board. In these situations, you require a supplementary document.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You want to regulate the relationships between shareholders Shareholders' Agreement For participation, payout policy, and a dispute resolution mechanism.
You want to record a concrete board decision Shareholders' resolution For a formal decision of the general meeting.
You want to record meetings correctly Minutes For a legally valid report of decision-making.
Explanation of this document

Drafting Board Regulations, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what board regulations are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a board of directors' regulations document?

Board Regulations establish how the management of a BV operates: the division of tasks among directors, their powers, and the decision-making process. While the articles of association determine the general guidelines, the Board Regulations govern the day-to-day internal operations — and they are easier to amend, as no notary is required.

When do you need management regulations?

As soon as a BV has multiple directors or the organization becomes somewhat more complex, a management regulation prevents ambiguity and conflicts. Who decides what, who is authorized to bind the BV, and how do we deal with a conflict of interest? Clear agreements prevent deadlocks and liability.

What should be included in management regulations?

A good set of regulations governs the division of tasks, decision-making (meetings, agenda, quorum, and voting ratios), the power of representation, the handling of conflicts of interest, and decisions requiring approval from the General Meeting or the Supervisory Board.

Division of tasks and collective responsibility

Directors may divide tasks among themselves, but the board remains a collectively responsible body (Article 2:239 of the Dutch Civil Code). A clear division of tasks helps in exoneration if a fellow director makes a mistake, but it does not relieve anyone of the duty to intervene in the event of impending improper management.

Conflict of interest and representation

A director with a personal conflict of interest shall not participate in the decision-making regarding it (Article 2:239, paragraph 6 of the Dutch Civil Code). Also specify who is authorized to bind the BV externally; you can further define the statutory power of representation (Article 2:240 of the Dutch Civil Code) internally using approval thresholds.

Establish and amend

Usually, the board establishes the regulations and the general meeting approves them. Because they are not part of the articles of association, you can adapt them flexibly if the organization changes — provided this is within the limits of the law and the articles of association.

Have management regulations drawn up

Our legal experts draft a tailored board of directors' regulations that suits your board, articles of association, and governance, with attention to division of duties, conflicts of interest, and liability. Fixed price upfront and a free consultation.

Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document

Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
