Partnerships

"Labelled as 'user-friendly' and 'going places', this firm successfully balances both contentious and non-contentious work…specialising in advising professional partnerships, such as solicitors, accountants and architects…"

- Chambers UK, 2008

The culture of partnerships and the way they work is certainly different and, as a professional practice ourselves, we understand this. Our team is “highly admired” by our clients, who value our ability to share not only our technical expertise and extensive experience of acting for partnerships and partners in a variety of sectors, but also our first hand knowledge of how to deal effectively with the unusual, complex and sensitive situations which arise in a partnership context.

Leading legal directory Chambers UK regards us as “a leader in the field" of partnership work. We have acted extensively for a wide range of partnerships, with particular emphasis on professional practices. We offer a full range of services, including preparing documentation of partnership agreements, managing disputes and dealing with conversion to LLP status.

We have a highly regarded practice handling partnership disputes - particularly associated with difficult internal situations where one or more partners may be forced to leave. We are accomplished negotiators and tacticians and have undertaken a significant number of successful mediations and arbitrations.
