Justee's articles of incorporation review tool analyzes corporate formation documents for state compliance, stock structure clarity, registered agent designations, and required provisions completeness. The AI identifies risks including inadequate stock authorization, missing indemnification provisions, improper purpose clauses, and registered agent issues. Justee provides suggested revisions based on state corporate law requirements. Articles of incorporation are the foundational documents filed with the state to legally create a corporation. They establish the corporation's existence, authorize stock issuance, and define basic corporate structure. Common issues include insufficient authorized shares for future fundraising, missing director liability protections, and noncompliant purpose statements. Professional review ensures smooth incorporation and proper corporate governance. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed their certificate of incorporation prior to filing for a tech startup incorporating in Delaware for their seed round.

Issue Found: The articles only authorized 1,000,000 shares of common stock with no preferred stock authorization, which would require an expensive amendment before they could close their financing round.

Justee Recommendation: We recommended authorizing 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock to accommodate future funding rounds without amendment.

Insufficient Share Authorization

Problematic Language

"The Corporation is authorized to issue One Million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share."

Recommended Language

"The Corporation is authorized to issue Fifteen Million (15,000,000) shares, consisting of: (i) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and (ii) Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share."

Why it matters: Under-authorizing shares forces expensive amendments before each funding round. Blank check preferred allows the board to create new series without shareholder votes.

No credit card required

"Justee is redefining the legal document compliance process across all practice areas, transforming hours of work into minutes, while reducing stress and boosting accuracy."

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Performance Estimates (*): All statistics, metrics, and numerical claims on this page — including review times, cost comparisons, accuracy percentages, and database size — are estimates based on internal testing, industry research, and typical use cases. Actual results vary based on document type, complexity, length, jurisdiction, and other factors. Cost comparisons reference publicly available average attorney rates and are not guaranteed savings. "1M+ laws and regulations" refers to the breadth of Justee's reference database and does not imply that every provision is checked against every law for every document.

By using our service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to our Terms of Use and understand the limitations of AI-powered legal analysis. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and applicability of any information to your situation.

Articles of Incorporation Review FAQ

Articles of incorporation are the legal documents filed with the state to create a corporation. They establish the company's existence and basic structure.

Required information typically includes corporate name, registered agent, number of authorized shares, incorporator names, and sometimes director names and purpose.

Authorize more shares than you plan to issue initially to accommodate future investment, employee equity, and growth. Justee identifies when authorization is insufficient.

A registered agent receives legal documents and government correspondence on behalf of the corporation. They must have a physical address in the state of incorporation.

Yes, but amendments require board and shareholder approval and state filing fees. Getting it right initially saves time and money.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers, such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses, may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before any text reaches an AI model (detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything), and nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
