Whilst there is no legal obligation requiring a business partnership to put in place  Partnership Agreements it is very important to do so in order to regulate the business relationship because the law does not adequately provide for many issues which can arise in the modern world.

What should be added to partnership agreements?

It is vital that Partners in a business address and document what happens:

• To the profits and losses of the business, how they are divided
• If a Partner wants to leave, how the relationship is terminated and how the assets and the profits of the business are divided
• If a Partner dies, what happens to the assets and the profits of the business
• On a day to day basis, how the Partnership is run, what decisions need to be unanimous and what can be left to individual Partners
