General Meeting of Partners or Shareholders
Explanation:
I'd use "general" rather than "universal"--it's commonly used to describe shareholder's meetings in English and conveys the same idea.

Meetings with the presence or representation of all shareholders or partners


Explanation:
The 'universal' bit means that all shareholders or partners are either present or represented at the meeting. If they are represented this is normally through an individual POA for each meeting. It is not clear from the context whether this is an AGM or not.

Reference

Reference information:
Depending on which country is involved, 'junta universal' could have a slightly different meaning from 'general':

Puede ser también Junta Universal cuando está presente todo el capital social en cuyo caso no se requieren los requisitos de convocatoria formal que exige la Ley de Sociedades Anónimas, se recoge ésta última en el artículo 99 de la citada Ley.
