A Partnership is created whenever two or more people go into business together and share any profits and losses - even if there is no written partnership agreement. In the absence of a partners agreement, the business is governed by the 1890 Partnership Act. Partnership Disputes are usually much simpler to settle with a written partnership agreement.

We are able to represent a range of both professional and other businesses including accountants, solicitors, dentists, GPs, architects and surveyors and deal with a wide variety of problems including:

• problems with partnership accounts
• attempts to remove a partner
• issues regarding misrepresentation
• negligence

Whether or not you have a partnership agreement, if you're involved in a tricky dispute with your partners, it’s sensible to get expert advice. Rest assured that our Partnership Dispute Solicitors have that specialist experience and will take a practical and commercial view of your dispute.

How we can help to resolve your Partnership Dispute

Wherever your partnership is based in the UK, we can help by taking your instructions and providing advice by phone or email. Or, if your business is local to our Wiltshire, Dorset or Hampshire offices, you may prefer to meet us there.

• In the absence of a partnership agreement, we strongly support the use of mediation wherever possible, and can also assist you in selecting the right mediator and by preparing for and supporting you throughout the mediation process.
• However if both mediation and negotiation fail, you may be left with little choice but to refer the partnership dispute to court – in which case we will support you throughout in any litigation.
• Our team can assist you in a partnership dissolution, if required.
• We can draft or update any existing partnership agreement – to minimise risk of future partner disputes.
• Conditional fee agreements (including no win no fee schemes) are available for appropriate partner disputes.
