Resolving Issues and Disputes Between Partners

Whenever two or more people work together with a view to making and sharing profit, there is potential for them to be considered in a legal partnership. This can arise regardless of whether there is any formal agreement. Indeed, it can occur without any of the partners having considered they are in partnership. It is crucial to understand the implications and responsibilities associated with such partnerships to navigate any disputes effectively.

How We Can Help

  • Determining Partnership Status: We can advise you on whether you are in a partnership and the legal consequences of this status. Early advice can help resolve issues and enable the partnership to continue smoothly.
  • Rights and Obligations: We provide guidance on your rights and obligations as a partner, helping you protect your personal and partnership interests. This includes understanding what you are owed by your fellow partners and how to uphold your interests within the partnership.
  • Resolving Disputes: If a partnership dispute arises and continuing within the partnership is no longer viable, we can help identify your options. This includes advising on steps to either exit the partnership or resolve conflicts to allow the partnership to continue.
  • Safeguarding Your Position: We offer advice on protecting your interests as a continuing partner and limiting any potential harm from fellow partners. We also provide strategies to safeguard your position should relationships deteriorate or the partnership face challenges.
