Partnership Agreements and LLCs

A partnership agreement or otherwise known as a shareholder agreement, an LLC Operating Agreement, or any other written contract between business partners are critical. The most likely business dispute is a business partnership dispute. Often times, each partner's personal assets are exposed in a partnership or business dispute to the surprise of each partner.

A well-written partnership agreement should answer the following questions:
--What happens if one partner wants to be bought out?
--What happens if one partner becomes divorced or disabled?
--What is each business partner's duties?
--If a disability or death occurs, how is the other side bought out?
--What is the purchase price upon a buy out?
--What is the procedure for making key business decisions?

The above questions are critical questions that a well-written partnership agreement should address.
