Deadlocks and Breakdown of Decision-Making

In 50/50 partnerships or joint ventures, deadlocks can completely stall the business. Without a valid tie-breaker clause or dispute resolution method, the only option may be legal intervention.

We Can Help You:

Trigger dispute resolution clauses within shareholder or partnership agreements

Apply to the Supreme Court to appoint a receiver or wind up the company

Secure injunctive relief to prevent damage or financial harm

We move quickly to preserve business value while protecting your rights. We also help update future agreements to avoid future stalemates.

Buyouts, Valuations and Exit Agreements

In many cases, a negotiated exit is the best outcome — especially if continued partnership is no longer viable. We guide you through the process legally and commercially.

Our Services Include:

Initiating and documenting partner buyout agreements

Working with independent valuers and tax advisors

Managing staged exits and restraint clauses to protect clients post-sale

We collaborate with firms like CPA Australia and BDO Valuation Services for accurate and reliable business valuations.
