A business partnership is formed whenever two or more people set up a business together. When they do, the law automatically applies certain rules that govern the management of the joint venture.

What can a partnership include?
These include the division of profits, decision making and how partners leave the partnership. We strongly suggest that a more specific partnership agreement is drafted to cover the particular features of your business.
What is an LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership, or LLP, is (like a limited company) a separate legal entity to its partners, or members as they are called. It operates in many ways like a traditional partnership but gives its members limited liability. LLPs are very popular for professional services and consultancy firms.
Whether you are already in a partnership or LLP, planning to join one or setting up your own business partnership, we have a team of dedicated solicitors who can advise you regarding all aspects of partnership law and LLP law. We can provide guidance on a wide range of business partnership law, each facing its own regulatory framework and distinctive challenges.
