Joint stock companies are among the capital companies that have great importance both in Turkey and Switzerland. There are no major differences in the structures and functioning of joint stock companies in the laws of the two countries. These joint stock companies have two organs that are considered valid in the laws of both countries. These bodies are the board of directors and the general assembly. While the authority of representation is given to the board of directors, the authority to make decisions is given to the general assembly. Both organs have different functions from each other. The general assembly makes its decision-making authority through the assembly meetings. It holds general assembly meetings in physical or electronic environment. There are differences between these two meeting types. In this study, the general assembly of joint stock companies under Turkish and Swiss law was discussed.
