risk level indicator at Medium level

The Legal Risk Score of a Partnership Agreement (Two Companies) Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • Partnerships are flexible business structures.
  • Partners are required to contribute capital equally and share profits and losses equally, which might not reflect the actual input or risk assumed by individual partners.
  • Decisions and actions related to the partnership require unanimous agreement, potentially leading to delays or deadlock in decision-making if partners disagree.

The requirement for unanimous decisions and equal sharing of financial responsibilities could either foster a strong collaborative environment or lead to significant operational challenges if conflicts arise.
