Partnership dissolution is the legal winding down of a business relationship, including finalizing liabilities, distributing assets, and documenting the termination.
Core steps include asset valuation, arranging buyouts, settling debts, and drafting a dissolution agreement that covers ongoing obligations and post-dissolution duties.
