+## Contract Types & Nuances
+
+| Contract Type | USA Context | Canada Context | EU Context |
+|---------------|-------------|----------------|------------|
+| **Operating Agreements (LLC)** | Essential document. Governs internal logic of LLCs. Highly variable by state (e.g., Delaware vs. California). | LLCs do not exist inherently in Canada; use Shareholder/Partnership agreements or ULCs depending on province. | "LLC" equivalents (e.g., GmbH in Germany, SARL in France, s.r.o. for Czech Republic) require highly formalized AoA/Statutes. |
+| **Shareholders’ Agreements** | Common in C-Corps and S-Corps. Governs equity boundaries, Board seating, and vesting. | Very common under CBCA/OBCA. Often explicitly addresses unanimous shareholder agreements (USA) stripping director powers. | Strictly governed by local corporate codes. Often intersects heavily with statutory pre-emption rights. |
+| **Partnership Agreements** | Standard for General (GP), Limited (LP), or Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP). | Similar to US. Governed by provincial Partnership Acts. | Variable. In some states, partnerships possess separate legal personality; in others, they do not. |
+| **Articles of Association (AoA)** | Generally termed "Articles of Incorporation" or "Certificate of Formation". Public facing but minimal. | Required foundational document for corporations. Standardized model articles often used. | The required, comprehensive public-facing "rulebook". Must heavily align with EU Company Law Directives and national commercial registers. |

+## Agent Instructions
+When an end-user requests a company formation document:
+1. Ask for the specific jurisdiction (State/Province/Country).
+2. For EU-specific requests (e.g., Czech Republic), use **N-Lex** to find the specific national Commercial Register rules.
+3. Extract the entity type (LLC, Corp, GmbH, s.r.o., etc.).
+4. Reference the metadata array above to structure the document.
