Prepare shareholder-agreement drafts with governance terms already structured
Use Gixo when teams need a first draft shaped by ownership, voting, reserved matters, transfer mechanics, and exit assumptions before corporate counsel review.
An AI shareholder agreement generator turns ownership, voting, and exit inputs into a structured shareholder-agreement (SHA) first draft for corporate counsel to review clause by clause. Gixo captures share classes, reserved matters, and transfer mechanics, can use prior SHAs as reference input, and exports to PDF, DOCX, HTML, and TXT. Lex does not show clause-level source provenance, so reviewers verify every fact and source use independently.
What a usable SHA draft needs
The job is not to ask AI for a legal answer. The job is to prepare a draft or artifact that a qualified reviewer can actually work with.
Capture the equity structure and party positions before generation instead of forcing reviewers to retrofit them into a generic form.
Shape the draft around voting thresholds, board rights, consent items, and control logic the parties actually care about.
Bring drag-along, tag-along, ROFR, valuation, and exit assumptions into the first draft before counsel review.
Reference files and governing context can shape the draft. Lex does not show clause-level source provenance, so reviewers should verify authority and supporting facts independently.
Use prior SHAs and precedent files so the next draft begins closer to the corporate governance language your team already uses.
After the first draft, Lex can run a deterministic contract review: clause coverage against a versioned playbook, clause-conflict detection, and defined-term and cross-reference checks. Findings, tracked-change DOCX redlines, comments, review state, assignees, due dates, and version history all stay attached to the same document. Reviewers still verify every clause and conclusion.
What clauses does a shareholder agreement include?
A shareholder agreement sets out ownership, control, and exit between shareholders. Gixo takes each of these as structured intake, so the first draft arrives with them in place for counsel to review clause by clause.

How do you create a shareholder agreement with AI?
Define the shareholders, ownership positions, and governance assumptions that will shape the draft.
Bring the voting, consent, transfer, and exit mechanics into the intake before generation begins.
Upload prior SHAs and internal precedent if you want the next draft to begin closer to your existing practice.
Keep the edits and review inside the same workspace, then export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, and TXT when the draft is ready.
