Exiting Partners Where a Dispute Has Arisen

Disagreements among partners are not uncommon, but they can raise the question of whether you need to leave the partnership or if another partner should be removed. If you have a partnership agreement, it may offer a framework for addressing these issues. Without such an agreement, other legal principles may come into play. Understanding your legal position early is crucial for navigating these situations effectively.

How We Can Help

  • Advising on Removal or Exit: We can provide guidance on the best approach for removing a partner or exiting the partnership yourself. Our goal is to negotiate these matters efficiently, avoiding lengthy and costly court proceedings where possible. This may involve direct negotiations with your partners or advising you on how to handle the situation independently.
  • Formal Dispute Resolution: If negotiations fail, we can represent you in formal alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes or court proceedings. Our team is equipped to handle disputes at all stages, ensuring that your interests are protected throughout the legal process.
  • Handling Ancillary Matters: We can assist with related issues, such as if a partner has taken assets from the business or engaged in unfair competition. Our support extends to addressing these concerns and mitigating any additional harm to your partnership.
  • Protecting Your Interests: Understanding your legal position in a dispute helps you protect your interests, whether you are leaving the partnership or managing a partner’s exit. Our advice aims to minimise disruption and ensure that you and the partnership can move forward effectively.
  • Effective Management of Exit or Removal: We help you manage the process of removing a partner or exiting the partnership with minimal disruption. Our support includes assisting with the valuation of your partnership interest to ensure a fair and accurate assessment.
