Partnership Disputes Solicitors

Disagreements can also occur when one or more of the partners wants to leave the partnership. A dispute may arise over the terms of their departure; for instance, a partner may want to withdraw money they invested in the partnership, which could cause a problem for the remaining partners and the business.

Other types of partnership disputes we regularly act on include:

• Partner rights and governance matters
• Enforcement of partnership clauses or LLP members’ agreement
• Partner expulsions and retirement
• Dissolution and termination of a partnership
• Enforceability and breaches of restrictive covenants
• Division of partnership assets
• Claims relating to misuse of partnership assets and breaches of fiduciary duty
