What breaks a deadlock?
The documents may contain a mechanism: mediation, a casting vote, a buy-sell clause or a valuation process. If not, options include negotiated exit, court application or dissolution. We steer you to the route that preserves value.
Who controls the company in the meantime?
Managers hold authority according to the MOA and registration. A person removed or challenged may still appear on bank mandates and the licence. Quick, lawful steps on authority matter, and so does avoiding acts that could be challenged.
What interim steps are possible?
Preventing transfers of shares, preserving records and assets, and requesting orders that keep the business operating. See director and management disputes for claims against individuals.
