Can any of you business solicitors give my future daughter in law a bit of free advice regarding business partnership squabbles regarding terminating a partnership ?

For anyone interested this is nothing to do with the Zone :smile::smile::smile:
 
Russian roulette?



Is there a written Partnership Agreement? That should say what the options are (and Mexican stand-off and Russian Roulette are actual clauses to resolve deadlock). If there's no written Partnership agreement, I seem to recall that options are limited but this isn't an area I've looked at for a very long time.

Commercial answers are always better than legal answers though. Get the parties to sit down and decide a way to resolve it - get in a conciliator or arbitrator if necessary. It's rarely in anyone's interest for these things to drag on. And don't dismiss the Mexican stand-off or Russian Roulette means.
 
Ken, sorry, just seen this. If there are squabbles mediation is a good alternative. Over 85% of mediated disputes sorted in a day (roughly). Usually in more amicable terms than a court will impose and quicker than lawyers going backwards and forwards. Cheaper than you'd think too. Pvt me if you want some names....
 
elstree blue is worth contacting. If you want to PM I'm happy to give a practical answer... usually works out more constructive than legal answers
