What this usually involves

Equal ownership without a deadlock mechanism leaves the company unable to make decisions. Options range from mediated buy-outs to a just and equitable winding-up petition.

  • Reviewing articles and any deadlock clauses
  • Russian roulette and Texas shoot-out mechanisms
  • Just and equitable winding-up as a last resort

Common questions

Can a court break deadlock?
It can order a buy-out or wind the company up, but both are slow and expensive compared with a negotiated deal.
How is the value fixed?
Usually by an independent expert valuer appointed under an agreed process.
