Partnership Disputes
Disputes between members/business partners are often not only highly emotive, but can also be extremely damaging. Our Dispute Resolution lawyers can advise you on negotiating or mediating internal partnership disputes.
What is involved?
Disputes between members/business partners are often not only highly emotive, but can also be extremely damaging to the LLP/traditional partnership left behind. Whilst a well drafted LLP/traditional partnership agreement can go some way to minimising disputes between members/partners regarding their rights and obligations to each other, disputes between members/partners are more common than you might think.
Our Dispute Resolution lawyers can advise you on negotiating or mediating internal partnership disputes. We can also assist with the termination and/or dissolution of LLPs/traditional partnerships, or the departure of a troublesome or under-performing member/partner. This enables remaining LLP/traditional partnership to continue in business, and often flourish without the burden of a debilitating partnership dispute.
