Partnership dissolution is the process of ending a business relationship, winding up affairs, and distributing assets in a fair and lawful manner.
Dissolutions can arise from deadlock, buyout, retirement, or breach of trust. Depending on your agreement and state law, you may pursue negotiation, mediation, or court involvement.
Partnership dissolution is a formal legal process that ends a business partnership and begins the closure of its affairs, including debts, assets, and ongoing obligations.

Dissolution ends the partnership and requires orderly distribution of assets and settlement of liabilities under the partnership agreement and California law.
