Deadlock Mechanism Clause (Sample):
If a deadlock arises between shareholders, directors, or partners in this partnership, startup, or limited liability company—meaning the parties cannot agree on a key decision after [two] board or shareholder meetings—the following process applies:
1. The parties must attempt mediation for at least [30] days.
2. If unresolved, either party may trigger a buy-sell mechanism (e.g., Russian Roulette or Texas Shootout), where one party offers to buy the other’s shares at a set price per share. The other party must either accept the offer or buy the first party’s shares at the same price.
3. If neither party acts, the company may be wound up or another agreed process followed

什么是僵局条款?
僵局条款为解决纠纷提供结构化方式。 当合伙企业、初创企业或有限责任公司的董事、合伙人或股东, 在成立后无法就关键决策达成一致时,可用此条款。 它通过明确调解、回购或清算步骤,避免停滞和高额诉讼。
谁需要它,为什么?
适用对象: 50/50 合伙企业、股权平等的联合创始初创企业, 以及董事或股东控制均衡的有限公司。
缺失风险: 公司可能陷入停摆,无法决策或继续推进, 往往还会引发昂贵的诉讼或被迫清算。
英国常见问题: 若无僵局条款,争议可能拖延数月甚至数年, 损害业务和关系。
实际如何运作
示例:
两名董事各持有一家有限责任初创企业 50% 股权。 他们在战略上有分歧,无法打破平局。 僵局条款先启动调解; 若仍失败,则触发俄罗斯轮盘式回购—— 一名董事提出按每股 10 英镑收购对方。 另一方必须按该价格出售,或以同价收购对方。
常见问题与法律细节
条款必须写入股东协议或公司章程, 才能对任何合伙企业、初创企业或有限公司具备可执行性。
买卖机制可能更有利于现金更多的一方—— 可考虑加入保护措施或分期付款。
调解应是真诚尝试, 然后再启动更激烈的措施。
常见问题
1. 僵局机制只适用于 50/50 公司吗?
不,它适用于任何可能存在平等控制或董事分歧的公司、合伙企业或初创企业。
2. 僵局条款能强制出售或清算吗?
可以,前提是流程已被触发,且按协议约定执行。
3. 买断前必须调解吗?
通常会要求调解,也建议这样做; 但你可以按需要调整流程。
4. 俄罗斯轮盘和德州对决有什么区别?
二者都是买卖机制; 俄罗斯轮盘由一方定价,德州对决采用密封竞标。
5. 该条款能在法院被挑战吗?
如果流程公平且写得清楚,法院通常会支持。 但若条款不公或不清晰,仍可能引发争议。
总结 / 行动步骤
请检查你的股东协议和公司章程,是否包含僵局条款。 尤其当你是初创企业、合伙企业或有限责任公司的董事、合伙人或股东时。
如缺失,请在争议发生前协商加入。
