Who Do Georgia Business Owners Call When a Deadlock Freezes the Company?

Some businesses fail because of bad markets. Others fail because no one can make a decision.

Deadlocks happen when ownership is split, authority is unclear, or decision-making rules were never written down. Two partners. Two votes. No tie-breaker. The business stalls while the dispute grows.

Johns Creek Business attorney Stephen Fuller has spent more than 40 years helping Georgia entrepreneurs resolve deadlocks that threaten profitable companies. In almost every case, the issue traces back to missing or incomplete corporate documents. Operating agreements that never addressed voting power. Shareholder agreements with no exit strategy. Assumptions that everyone would always agree.

When a deadlock hits, nothing moves. Bank accounts get frozen. Contracts cannot be signed. Employees lose confidence. Vendors stop cooperating. And the business bleeds while the owners argue.

Fuller Sloan approaches deadlock disputes with one priority: restoring control in a way that makes economic sense. That may mean enforcing existing agreements, negotiating a buyout, restructuring ownership, or, when necessary, asking the court to step in. The wrong move is waiting.

Deadlocks do not resolve themselves. They get more expensive the longer they last.
