Short answer
Before asking a partnership dispute barrister for a quote, gather the partnership agreement, accounts, capital records, correspondence, decision history, alleged breaches and the outcome sought.
Partnership Documents
The legal position may depend heavily on whether there is a written agreement and what it says about profits, management and exit.
- Partnership agreement or deed.
- Accounts, tax records and capital account statements.
- Bank mandates, loan documents and asset records.
- Minutes, resolutions or written decisions.
- Any retirement, expulsion, dissolution or buyout documents.
Dispute Issues
A focused summary should separate financial, management and conduct complaints.
- Profit share, drawings or capital disputes.
- Alleged exclusion from management or information.
- Misuse of partnership assets or confidential information.
- Competing business or conflict concerns.
- Deadlock, dissolution or valuation issues.
Practical Outcome
The quote request should explain whether the aim is negotiation, urgent protection, accounts, valuation or litigation.
- The outcome wanted from the other partner or firm.
- Any urgent risk to assets, clients or trading.
- Settlement offers or mediation history.
- Court papers or pre-action correspondence.
- The documents that would help explain the business quickly.
