Partnership Disputes

Legal disputes of any kind can be a stressful and time-consuming distraction. Partnership disputes add an extra layer of complexity and can paralyse your business.

This is why we work quickly and effectively to resolve issues as amicably as possible, while prioritising business stability and the achievement of your long-term goals.

Our partnership disputes team is made up of experienced and Legal 500-recognised commercial litigators with expertise in matters relating to general partnerships, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships (LLPs).

Whether you’re concerned about a breach of obligation under a partnership agreement or a breach of fiduciary or statutory duty (included under the Partnership Act 1980), we advise on a wide range of issues including the practical implications of a dispute, funding and the available remedies.

Should your partnership break down due to a breach of obligation, we will work with you to seek remedy through the courts, including the pursuit of damages and account of unlawful profits. We will also seek urgent injunctive relief to safeguard your partnership’s future interests against further breaches.

"I engaged with Jeff in relation to a dispute upon retiring as a professional sportsman through injury. Jeff offered reassurance and guidance through a very unsettling time, the result of which was a positive one. His commitment in achieving the result was hugely comforting and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jeff in similar matters."

'I found the mediation on Friday probably the best run mediation I have been involved in. It seemed very close to collapse and yet Jeff managed to find a way to keep the parties talking and a sensible deal was reached, very much against the odds. The whole show was conducted with great skill and attention to detail and I just wanted to say that. I am not usually one to shower praise but I would like to on this occasion.'
