    If you are looking to integrate a new business partner or investor into your business, wanting to start a new entity or run a business with a business partner, it is essential to have an attorney for business partnerships in Singapore.

With specialisations in drafting robust commercial agreements, our years of experience makes us adept at advising clients, reviewing and drafting pertinent commercial contracts.<\/p>\n

    3. Joint Venture Agreement<\/li>\n
    4. Shareholders Agreement<\/li>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      When dealing with partnerships as a legal structure, one of the key documents to prepare is the Partnership Agreement. While the Partnership Act in Singapore governs the responsibilities and entitlements of partners, it may not sufficiently address the unique requirements and preferences of each partner. The Partnership Agreement plays a vital role in fostering transparency and consensus among partners, particularly concerning matters like business administration and profit distribution. It establishes protocols for scenarios such as partner withdrawal or the inclusion of new partners, which are common sources of contention. With help from our adept legal professionals, a well-drafted Partnership Agreement can effectively mitigate conflicts and promote smoother operations within the partnership.<\/p>\n

      What should a partnership agreement contain?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Name and purpose of the partnership;<\/li>\n
      2. Responsibilities, performance and remuneration of each partner;<\/li>\n
      3. Contributions of individual partners, in terms of cash or sweat capital;<\/li>\n
      4. Procedure for the withdrawal of old partners and the admission of new ones;<\/li>\n
      5. Buy-out procedures;<\/li>\n
      6. Dispute resolution;<\/li>\n
      7. Financial and accounting arrangements;<\/li>\n
      8. Term and termination of partnership; and<\/li>\n
      9. Valuation of partnership shares.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
