Partnership Disputes
Partnership Disputes
When a dispute arises between partners, it can negatively impact the reputation and career of the partners involved, as well as having a detrimental effect on the business itself.
At Rotheras we act swiftly to deal with partnership disputes in order to settle the matter early, and regularly use negotiation, mediation and arbitration as efficient and low cost methods for resolving disputes.
We have vast experience of working with partnerships and individual partners in various sectors and professions and have a deep understanding of the regulatory and commercial frameworks that partnerships operate in.
Why use Rotheras for Partnership Disputes?
We act for general partnerships, partnerships at will, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) as well as for individual partners and members.
We have extensive experience advising companies in a range of sectors and professions in relation to partnership disputes.
We can refer you to our commercial department who can advise you on drawing up a partnership agreement to protect you from any disputes that may arise (again, may need to be clear that this is the commercial department not dispute resolution and will need to be referred).
We can provide cross-department advice to ensure all aspects of your matter are addressed.
We will seek to resolve your dispute through negotiation or Alternative Dispute Resolution where possible.
We can advise and support you if your matter goes to court and have experience in successfully preparing and arguing cases that go to the County Court or High Court.
We can advise on unlawful discrimination of a partner on the grounds of race, gender, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, civil partnership or gender reassignment.
We can help you with:
- Breach of statutory duties
- Breach of fiduciary duties
- Breach of partnership agreement terms
- Partner liability
- Partner misconduct
- Leaving or retiring from a partnership
- Fraud
- Dissolution/winding up a partnership
- Discrimination against partners

Chris Powell at Rotheras was recommended to us by a trusted associate within the Transport Industry; without doubt we wouldn’t have had the excellent outcome we did without his and his team’s involvement. The level of professionalism, expert advice and assistance was faultless; we felt reassured and well informed throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to do business with him and would highly recommend his services!

The team at Rotheras, and Mr Powell in particular, have provided us with an outstanding service. We are extremely grateful for the help and support they gave us in dealing with issues relating to our transport operations and our goods vehicle operators licence. Mr Powell was professional, knowledgable, efficient and effective. He quickly understood our business and the problem we had. He responded with sensible advice and acted quickly on our behalf to resolve the matter. I cannot thank him enough for his help and I would recommend Mr Powell, and the Rotheras team, without hesitation. I am extremely grateful for the help they gave us.

I would highly recommend James Briggs, solicitor at Rotheras. He has been extremely helpful, patient and thorough whilst helping me with affairs following the death of my husband. Even during lockdown (covid) he maintained communication and kept me informed of what was happening. He successfully achieved the outcome I needed and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We are in the middle of launching our own packaging agency and contacted Rotheras for some professional legal advice with regards to contracts. After an initial call with Billy, he made it clear what we needed and asked plenty of questions to understand what it was we needed. He was very responsive to our questions, whether it be over the phone or via emails and made the process really simple. We had little experience in this area so it was fantastic to work with Billy, who explained everything concisely. We were also really pleased with the quick turnaround and great value offered. Would thoroughly recommend working with Rotheras.
