A Handshake Is Not a Partnership Agreement. Get It in Writing.
General partnerships can form accidentally — even without any signed documents.
Without a clear partnership agreement, state default rules govern everything from profit splits to what happens when a partner dies or wants to leave. Those rules rarely match what the partners actually intended.
A legal plan gives you access to a business attorney who drafts a proper partnership agreement that protects everyone involved.
- Attorney access for partnership formation legal matters
- Document review, drafting, and strategy guidance
- No hourly billing. No retainer. Plans from $49/month
Cost Comparison
Get Legal Help for Your Partnership Formation
A business partnership — whether a general partnership, limited partnership, or LLP — is a legal relationship with real financial and liability consequences. The partnership agreement defines each partner's ownership percentage, capital contribution, profit share, management authority, and what happens if a partner wants to exit or the partnership dissolves.
A legal plan connects you with a provider attorney who drafts a partnership agreement that reflects what the partners actually intend — not what state law defaults to when there's no agreement in place.
Legal Plan Benefits
Why a Legal Plan Is Valuable for Partnership Formation
Build your partnership on a legal foundation that protects every partner — without paying full law firm rates
Partnership Agreement Drafting
Get a custom partnership agreement drafted by a licensed attorney that covers ownership percentages, capital contributions, profit allocation, decision-making authority, and exit procedures.
Ownership & Profit Structure
Define clearly what each partner contributes, what each partner owns, and how profits and losses are allocated — so there's no ambiguity when it comes time to distribute earnings.
Decision-Making & Authority
Establish which decisions require unanimous partner approval, which can be made by a majority, and who has authority to act on behalf of the partnership in day-to-day matters.
Dispute Prevention
Include buyout provisions, deadlock resolution mechanisms, and partner exit procedures that protect the business and every partner if a conflict arises.
Entity Type Guidance
Understand the differences between general partnerships, limited partnerships, and LLPs — and which structure provides the right combination of liability protection and management flexibility.
Save Money
Replace unpredictable attorney fees with a flat monthly plan — so legal costs never catch your business off guard.
What a Provider Attorney Drafts for Your Partnership
From choosing the right entity type to drafting the agreement that governs every aspect of the partnership relationship, a provider attorney protects every partner.
General Partnership Agreements
Draft a comprehensive general partnership agreement covering capital contributions, profit and loss allocation, management authority, banking authority, and the procedures for admitting new partners or dissolving the partnership.
Limited Partnership & LLP Agreements
Get guidance on limited partnership structures — defining the roles and liability exposure of general and limited partners — or LLP agreements that provide partner liability protection.
Buy-Sell Agreements & Exit Provisions
Include clear buyout provisions, valuation methods, and exit procedures that define what happens when a partner wants to leave, dies, becomes incapacitated, or is forced to exit.
Partner Admission & Equity Changes
Get legal guidance on admitting new partners, changing ownership percentages, handling capital calls, and documenting equity changes correctly as the partnership evolves.
Partnership Legal Needs at Every Stage
From the initial formation to adding partners and eventually dissolving the business — having proper legal documents at each stage protects everyone involved.
Forming a New Partnership
- Choose the right partnership structure — general, limited, or LLP
- Define each partner's capital contribution, ownership percentage, and profit share
- Establish management authority and decision-making procedures
- Include buyout and dissolution provisions before they're needed
Forming a partnership correctly from the start costs a fraction of what it costs to resolve disputes that arise from a poorly documented or undocumented partnership.
Adding New Partners or Changing Ownership
- Document the admission of new partners with a formal amendment to the partnership agreement
- Define the new partner's contribution, equity stake, and authority
- Ensure all existing partners consent to the change in the legally required manner
- Update profit and loss allocations to reflect the new ownership structure
Every time ownership changes, the partnership agreement needs to be updated. A provider attorney handles this correctly so there's no ambiguity about who owns what going forward.
Resolving Disputes or Dissolving the Partnership
- Use the dispute resolution provisions in the partnership agreement to resolve conflicts
- Invoke the buyout procedure if a partner wants to exit or must be removed
- Document the dissolution process — winding up, asset distribution, and liability settlement
- Ensure all partners meet their obligations upon dissolution and receive what they're entitled to
Partnership disputes and dissolutions are far cleaner when there's a properly drafted agreement to guide the process. Without one, state law fills the gaps in ways partners rarely prefer.
A legal plan puts an attorney behind your partnership from day one
— so the agreement protects every partner, not just the first one to call a lawyer.

Every Partnership Needs Rules.
Write Them Before You Need Them.
The hardest conversations in a business partnership — who controls what, who gets what when someone leaves, how disputes get resolved — are easiest to have before they become urgent. A provider attorney helps you have them in advance.
Most business partnership disputes stem not from bad intentions but from things that were never discussed — or discussed but never written down. A properly drafted partnership agreement anticipates the hard situations and provides a roadmap for resolving them without destroying the business or the relationship.
A legal plan gives you a provider attorney on call — at a flat monthly rate that makes legal protection practical for every business.

Members Say?

Avoided a lawsuit when my partner wanted to leave
After three years in business together, my partner decided she wanted to exit. Because our provider attorney had drafted a partnership agreement with a clear buyout provision and valuation method, the whole process was handled without attorneys fighting over what the terms should have been. We valued the business, I bought her out, and we both moved on without litigation.
George T.
FloridaDefined roles before they became a problem
My business partner and I had very different ideas about who would be making day-to-day decisions. Our provider attorney helped us draft an agreement that clearly defined our respective authorities — what I could decide alone, what he could decide alone, and what required both of us. That clarity prevented at least three arguments in the first year.
Heather B.
MinnesotaAdded a third partner without any confusion
When we decided to bring in a third partner, our provider attorney drafted the admission amendment, defined the new equity split, and updated our profit allocation provisions. The whole process was clean because we had a proper agreement in place that explained how to handle it. No disputes, no ambiguity.
Rashid A.
MarylandDiscovered our informal partnership had legal risks
My business partner and I had been operating as an informal partnership for two years. Our provider attorney explained that without a formal agreement, we were both personally liable for the other's actions on behalf of the business. We drafted a proper partnership agreement and converted to an LLP to add liability protection. I had no idea how exposed we were.
