Why this focus matters now
When two shareholders with equal shares block each other, important resolutions can no longer be passed. Deadlock is a legal and an economic problem; without a solution, dissolution looms.
Critical clause and conflict points
Contractual deadlock provisions, arbitration clauses, coin flip clauses or buy-sell clauses determine which paths are open at all. Without such rules, only the dissolution or exclusion action often remain.
How to prepare
For the deadlock strategy, review articles, existing side agreements and the affected resolution topics. In parallel, set up a negotiation line with clear fallback options.

Frequently asked questions
Can a deadlock always be resolved?
Not without cost. Often it ends with a sale of a share, a dissolution or a new set of articles.
Is mediation useful in deadlock?
Yes, if both sides are principally interested in continuing. Without that base condition, a court solution becomes necessary.
