How did the legal representative of the company come into being? First, the situation of the chairman as the legal representative. The members of the board of directors of a company are generally elected by the shareholders' (general) meeting and the employees' (representatives') meeting, while the method for selecting the chairman of a limited liability company is stipulated in the articles of association. Therefore, the legal representative (chairman) of a limited liability company can be elected by the board of directors in the above two ways, or it can be produced in other ways. The chairman of a joint stock limited company can only be elected by the board of directors. The chairman of a wholly state-owned company shall be appointed by the state-owned assets supervision and administration institution from among the board members. Two. The executive director as the legal representative. There is no board of directors, but only one executive director, which can be a limited liability company with a small number of shareholders or a small scale. The executive director is elected by the shareholders' meeting and must be the way to produce the legal representative. III. The manager is the legal representative.
