What is a deed of association?

The articles of association determine the legal relationships of the shareholders (e.g. of a limited liability company or stock corporation). For certain legal forms, an oral contract is sufficient; for others, the written form is required, which must also be notarized in the case of corporations.

Since a company comes into existence through the partnership agreement, it is the legal core of the company. Generally, the principle of freedom of contract applies to the content of the contract, but it essentially regulates the internal and external relationship of the company. Internally, the articles of association define the relationship between shareholders and management. However, relations with outsiders (e.g. business partners) are also regulated (external relationship).

When is a certified translation of a partnership agreement needed?

Since the articles of association provide information on how the legal relationships of a company are organized, the articles of association are a central document for which a certified translation is required, especially when founding a company or setting up new branches abroad.

More helpful information about certified translations

A certified translation of a partnership agreement is a careful translation of the language of your document into the desired target language (e.g. German), true to the layout, by a translator sworn in at a German court. The latter confirms the accuracy and completeness of the translation in relation to the original document by his stamp and certification mark. A copy of the original document is also usually attached to the certified translation. For the translation, we only need a copy (scan or photo) of your document.
