Shareholder Agreement

A comprehensive shareholder agreement for closely held corporations — covering vesting, transfer restrictions, buy-sell provisions, deadlock resolution, board composition, and minority shareholder protections. Built for founders, family businesses, and small corporations with 2–10 shareholders. It's built from a framework a licensed attorney designed, with your state's requirements wired in; the AI assembles it from your answers and never writes the law. No hallucinations, no guesses.

Why not just ask a chatbot?

A chatbot can draft this shareholder agreement in seconds — and quietly leave out a required carve-out, apply the wrong state's rules, or invent a clause. It will never tell you it guessed. Studies show general AI gets the law wrong on 58–88% of legal questions. An ArtiEsq shareholder agreement is attorney-built and state-specific, so you're not betting your business on a guess.
