A high-stack business deadlock resolved through legal precision.

Our client, a 50% shareholder in a company valued in the millions euro, faced a total breakdown in the shareholder relationship. Internal disputes had escalated to a point where operations were paralyzed and governance was blocked. With no clear path forward, the business was stuck in an impasse that put both its value and the client’s interests at risk.

The Challenge

The company’s internal structures had collapsed under the weight of persistent conflict. No agreement could be reached on fundamental matters like annual accounts, strategy, or even basic governance decisions.

Each shareholder accused the other of serious mismanagement.
Decision-making was frozen.
Time and value were slipping away.

What was needed wasn’t just legal action – but a decisive move that would protect our client and unlock the situation.

Our Approach

We stepped in during a period of entrenched conflict and guided the client through a clear, legally sound course of action.

Our team:

• Demonstrated to the court that the company’s decision-making had reached a standstill

• Compiled clear evidence of operational paralysis and persistent disagreement

• Filed for judicial liquidation on the grounds of shareholder deadlock

• Managed all procedural and substantive opposition from the other side

We built the case not just on conflict, but on the legal consequences of dysfunction.

The Impact

The court granted full liquidation of the company – despite strong opposition by the other shareholder group. This outcome is rare and legally significant.

For our client, it meant closure.
Protection of rights.
And a way forward where none had seemed possible.
