Partnership Agreement Solicitors.

A partnership agreement, also known as a partnership contract, is a legally binding document. The agreement establishes the rights and responsibilities of each partner and how they split profits and losses.

The value of having a written partnership agreement is that it lays out all the rules, responsibilities, and financial details of a business partnership. Furthermore, the agreement reduces the possibility of any future disputes because all partners have agreed to the terms and conditions.

In the event of any disputes, it’s a simple case of referring back to the document, minimising any arguments and lengthy discussions.

All partners who have signed a partnership contract have entered into a legally binding agreement. The partnership agreement will include the roles and responsibilities of the partners. However, in most cases, a partner will be able to exit or dissolve a partnership, providing they concede with the terms agreed within the partnership agreement.

Partners will form an agreement document to give all parties precise details of their partnership. For example, this might involve their capital, their rights and obligations, and rules of engagement in the event of a dispute or dissolution.

A simple partnership agreement can take as little as 1 to 2 weeks to be drafted, from initial consultation to you receiving the first draft.

If the agreement is particularly complex, you can expect the time frame to increase to 2 to 4 weeks.

Each partnership agreement case is different. Agreements that include multiple partners/businesses, or agreements that require several layers of protection and dispute resolution for partners, will typically increase costs.

After speaking with our solicitors, they will be in a position to provide a more precise estimate of how much your agreement will cost.
