Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney Clause Samples
The Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney clause grants one party the authority to act on behalf of another in specific matters, typically related to voting rights or executing documents, and makes this authority non-revocable for a set period or under certain conditions. In practice, this means the appointed agent can make binding decisions or sign documents as if they were the principal, often used in corporate transactions or shareholder agreements to ensure compliance with agreed actions. The core function of this clause is to provide certainty and enforceability by preventing the principal from unilaterally withdrawing the agent’s authority, thereby ensuring that critical actions can proceed without obstruction.
