An equal-share structure does carry the risk of deadlock: when the partners cannot agree there is no majority to break the tie, and the company can stop being able to decide anything at all. But that risk is largely a drafting problem, and it can be managed.
At formation we write the graduated mechanisms into the shareholders’ agreement — escalation to senior management, an independent board member or a neutral arbitrator, call and put options, and a last-resort exit route — so that each engages before the next becomes necessary. Privileged shares, the matters reserved for a veto and the composition of the board are then balanced under the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102). The risk comes far less from the ratio than from the quality of the agreement: a well-built 50-50 stops either side dominating, which protects both partners rather than weakening the structure.
