Your Team
Understanding Partnership Law
Partnership law in the UK is a multifaceted area that governs the legal relationships between individuals carrying on a business together with a view to profit. It is primarily rooted in the Partnership Act 1890, which provides the default legal framework for general partnerships unless otherwise modified by a formal agreement. At its core, partnership law addresses how partnerships are formed, how they operate, and how they can be dissolved, with each partner sharing rights, responsibilities, and liabilities unless clearly stated otherwise in a partnership agreement.
Partners are typically jointly and severally liable for the debts and obligations of the business, meaning each partner can be held personally responsible for the actions of the other. This creates an inherent need for clear contractual agreements and well-defined roles.
Our Expertise in Partnership Agreements and Contracts
Establishing a partnership without clear legal foundations can leave your business vulnerable. At Adam Benedict, we advise clients from initial structuring through to complex legal partnership contracts, ensuring clarity and protection from the outset.
Partnership Agreements
A well drafted partnership agreement is critical for defining roles, profit allocations, dispute resolution mechanisms and exit strategies. Our business partnership agreement lawyers work closely with clients to create bespoke agreements that reflect their commercial goals and legal obligations.
We also review and amend existing agreements to ensure they remain fit for purpose as your business evolves.
Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)
LLPs offer flexibility while limiting liability for partners. Whether you are setting up a new LLP or converting from a general partnership, our team provides strategic legal advice on registration, regulatory compliance, internal governance and liability management.
We also offer ongoing legal support for LLP members in respect of their statutory duties and partner relations.
Partnership Disputes and Litigation
Disputes can quickly arise in a partnership context, often impacting day-to-day operations and long-term relationships. Adam Benedict’s partnership dispute lawyers are experienced in resolving disagreements efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation.

Breach of fiduciary duty or partnership obligations
