A partnership agreement defines each partner’s role, ownership, and responsibilities, and it sets rules for profit sharing, decision-making, and changes in ownership. It also outlines how disputes will be resolved and how dissolution proceeds.
Ownership and profit sharing are typically described in a partnership agreement, including percentage interests, capital contributions, and distribution of profits and losses; provisions for voting rights and buy-out mechanics may also be included.
