Partnerships are common in the farming industry, and most of them are family businesses. The partnership model can have many attractive advantages, both in the running of the business and when passing control from one generation to the next. To fully exploit those benefits, however, it is essential to put in place a robust partnership agreement that is tailored to the business and reflects the owners’ long-term plans.
We can help with all aspects of this, including dissolution of partnerships, creation of new partnerships, or advising on an existing agreement. When creating or amending an agreement, all of its terms must be carefully considered – particularly those concerning the assumption, retirement and resignation of partners, which are a common cause of disputes.
We always work closely with our colleagues in the Private Wealth and Tax team, and with your other advisors such as accountants, land agents and bankers, to ensure that our advice takes account of the whole picture.
Our aim is to use our experience and expertise to help you build a robust business and to protect your assets, both now and for future generations.
