Partnership agreement lawyers who plan for the exit
Most partnership disputes come down to something that was never agreed clearly at the start. We draft agreements that set out roles, profit share and what happens if someone wants out.
Sound familiar?
Starting without an agreement means the terms only get decided once there's already a disagreement.
The longer a disagreement sits without a clear position, the more it affects the business itself.
Without agreed exit terms, one person leaving can turn into a drawn out fight over value.
Default rules apply when nothing is written down, and they rarely match what either partner wanted.
What we handle
Draft partnership and shareholder agreements
Most disagreements between partners come down to something that was never written down clearly at the start.
Advise on profit and loss sharing
How profit is split needs to match how the partnership actually works day to day, not just who put in the capital.
Set out exit and buyout terms
Without agreed exit terms, one partner leaving can turn into a drawn out fight over what their share is worth.
Resolve disputes between partners
A partnership dispute left unresolved tends to affect the business itself, not just the people involved in it.
Restructure or dissolve partnerships
Winding up a partnership properly protects both sides from disputes about assets, debts and liability after the fact.
Advise individual partners on their position
When a partnership is under strain, you need advice that's on your side specifically, not the partnership as a whole.
What happens when you get in touch
Tell us where things stand, whether that's starting a partnership or one already under strain.
We look at what's been agreed, written or otherwise, and tell you where you actually stand.
A clear agreement or a clear position, either way you'll know what happens next.
Common questions
Do we really need a written agreement if we trust each other?
Yes, trust is exactly why you write it down while things are good. It's much harder to agree on terms once there's a disagreement.
What happens if we don't have a partnership agreement?
Default rules can apply, and they rarely match what either partner actually wants. It's worth getting this sorted properly from the start.
What does a partnership agreement cost to draft?
It depends on how complex the partnership is and what needs to be covered. We'll confirm the fee basis before we start.
Can you act for me if my business partner already has a lawyer?
Yes, and you should have your own advice. We act for your interests specifically, not the partnership as a whole.
Not sure if you have a problem worth acting on?
Book a consultation and get terms in writing before there's anything to disagree about.
No cost, no obligation.
