These checklists support the legal requirements applicable to fiduciary Directors under Delaware law. Many states have similar fiduciary requirements for Directors.
In addition to these checklists, Boards should always have Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance to protect individual Directors from potential shareholder lawsuits and other claims.
Good meeting minutes are another important process that supports Directors by documenting sound decision-making practices and demonstrating that appropriate governance processes were followed.
