The team is ranked as a leading firm in the field of partnership law and also for medical partnerships in the Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 directories.

Medical partnerships and GP partnership agreements

We act for more than 400 GP practices and other healthcare providers including dental practices and consultants' medical chambers. We understand the commercial realities of delivering primary care and are able to differentiate ourselves from other corporate advisers, given our understanding of both the technical legal issues relating to professional partnerships as well as the commercial context in which they operate. Please see our GP partnership agreement page for further information.

Alternative Business Structures (ABSs)

The Legal Services Act 2007 helped to set the path for real change in the way legal services are provided. We have advised a number of regulated legal service providers on the establishment of business associations with professional service providers on how to create relationships in compliance with the complex system of regulation.

Professional links

If you require links to other professional advisers, we can help here too. We have very strong relationships with accountants, surveyors, bankers and other advisers who also advise professional partnerships.

Assistance to individual partners

We also have expertise acting for individual partners who have been isolated or excluded from a partnership by management, and in settling partnership disputes arising when partners fall out. We are also able to advise those who are about to be admitted to partnership and are able to undertake fixed fee due diligence reviews of partnership/members' agreements and other key documents prior to admission as partners.

Investment vehicles

Other areas where we can help you include limited partnership and LLP arrangements for property and investment transactions.
