Partnerships

We provide stand-out support for both partners and partnerships.

Most firms advise either partnerships or individual partners. Our difference is that we act for both.

Our clients are typically drawn from the professions, including accountancy, financial services, trading, brokers, insurance, medical and architecture.

We advise partnerships on all legal matters they face, including corporate governance, structuring and regulation, commercial contracts, employment and tax. We frequently advise on contentious issues around retirement, expulsions, disputes over profit shares and restrictive covenants.

Advising an LLP on the removal of its Senior Partner

A leading hedge fund, structured as a Limited Liability Partnership, uncovered evidence that a senior partner was preparing to leave the partnership and set up in competition along with junior members of his team. We advised the LLP on expulsion of the senior partner and successfully obtained injunctive relief and damages. We also recovered and secured the LLP’s confidential and proprietary information and prevented the senior partner from competing against the LLP.
