Introduction to
Partnership Disputes
When you enter into an agreement to carry on a bussiness, in common with another person with a view to make a profit you are potentially in a partnership agreement. When the verbal terms are scant, or the written terms are not sufficient, there is a good chance you may end up in a partnership dispute. In other cases even where the terms are well documented there may be a temptation for a partner to breach the agreement and/or applicable fiduciary duties so that you may require legal help.
