How to overcome the decision deadlock in companies

The legal professionals of Andersen Italy Francesco Inturri, Partner, and Carlo Riso, Manager, analyze the decision-making impasse in companies suggesting how to overcome this situation in an article published by IPSOA Quotidiano.

The article examines the different legal instruments that can be used to prevent or resolve a structural deadlock caused by a dispute between the shareholders in a situation of equal power / control between them. As often there is an equilibrate situation between the shareholders, in order to protect the position of minority and majority ones, the company could lead to a definitive and unsurpassed deadlock. This could generate the impossibility of proceeding with the resolution on a specific matter due to the veto power, in cases where unanimous voting is requested, effectively blocking the company’s activity and / or not allowing the company to take advantage of strategic opportunities.

Francesco Inturri and Carlo Riso suggest some possible solutions accordingly to the needs of the clients.
