Partnership Counsel

Partnership Counsel consistently ranked in the top tier by The Legal 500 and Chambers guides, the set specialises exclusively in partnership law, covering all forms of partnership, including LLPs, limited and corporate partnerships. It provides a full range of services to solicitors and other professional and commercial firms, including drafting and reviewing agreements, and advising on disputes, arbitrations and mediations. It also advises US firms on practising arrangements in the UK and on partnership disputes in other jurisdictions. With many years of focused experience, it is able to identify key issues quickly and provide clear, commercially effective solutions. The approach recognises that partnership disputes require sensitivity and flexibility, taking into account not only the strict legal position but also professional rules and tactical considerations. Much of the work undertaken is highly confidential and is therefore not publicised. Barristers are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
