Partnerships

Partnerships are a popular and simple way for two or more people to work together in a business or profession. Because of trusting relationships required of partners, getting the rules of the partnership right at the beginning is an important part of any partnership business success.

Adding partners or replacing partners is an equally important step; dissolving a partnership, particularly where relations have soured is often a complex and difficult matter to deal with.

Estate and Corporate Solicitors can assist with preparing partnership agreements, amendments or agreements and the dissolution of partnerships whether amicable or contentious.

Contracts

The whole of our commercial lives depends on contracts between parties and the performance of these contracts. They can be oral or written, simple or complex, one-offs or inferred from a course of conduct between the parties over a period of time.

But to work properly, contracts must make it clear who is going to do (or not do) what, for whom, when, where and at what price.

In this regards it is important that contracts drawn are clear and unequivocal about its content and terms so that parties to it understand their obligations as written in the contract , before these are entered into and consequences generating dispute, or a breach causing damages.

This will involve negotiation and may involve litigation, but all with an eye on the commercial "bottom line" for the parties involved.

Estate and Corporate Solicitors can advise and assist in the preparation, finalisation, operation and completion of contractual matters; setting up standard terms and conditions of trade; one-off special contracts; and so on. We can also assist in contentious aspects of contractual relationships, including litigation or commercial mediation.
