LLPs and Partnerships

A partnership is the sum of a number of individuals. Each brings a different way of doing business and our challenge, as your lawyers, is to successfully combine this with your organisational vision and strategic objectives. It is not surprising that putting together an effective partnership agreement takes more than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.

We want to make sure that your business structure reflects the people that you are and the work that you do. Understanding the culture of your organisation is fundamental to our approach. Whether you want to form a traditional partnership or an LLP, whether you’re searching for a flat structure or a more corporate management approach, of if you’re just having a tidy up after internal changes or retirement, our legal experts will work with you to understand your priorities and reflect them in the advice that they give.

Leaving a partnership or LLP is not always plain sailing. With parties interpreting deeds and obligations differently it’s time for plain English and common sense. You need legal disputes advice that you can trust and a champion that will protect your interests and support you through challenging times.

We advise on:

  • Preparation of partnership agreements and related documention
  • LLP incorporation (Limited Liability Partnerships)
  • Practice management
  • Conversion from partnership to LLP status
  • Restructuring of partnerships or LLPs
  • Partnership disputes
  • Partnership termination
  • Retirement arrangements
  • Mergers and demergers (both contentious and non-contentious)
  • Successor/survivor planning and disputes
  • Farming partnerships
  • Family partnerships and business structures
  • Covenants
  • Partnerships for investment purposes
