Partnerships

We regularly advise professional firms on partnership law and related issues. We work with partnerships across Scotland, and in many sectors – including medical, dental, accounting, architectural, surveying and law.

If you are thinking about starting a partnership, we can help you decide if it is the right thing to do, and talk you through the benefits and disadvantages. If you have already made up your mind to do so, we can explain the different provision which can be included in partnership agreements. Rather than giving you off-the-shelf agreements, we will listen to what you tell us, and make sure the agreement matches the circumstances and personalities involved.

We can offer you specialist advice on:

• preparing Partnership Agreements, and Agreements for Scottish Limited Partnerships and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP)
• incorporating your partnership into a limited liability company
• resolution of disputes between partners
• dissolution of partnerships, non-contentious and contentious.

At all stages we can discuss risk management issues, in order to minimise the possibility of such issues becoming contentious later on.

The quality of our work and strong relationships in this area mean we often work for individual partners and their families, as well as for their partnership. They value the way we see them as people, not just as a business relationship. This helps us to offer them cohesive services that work for all aspects of their lives.
