The importance as well as the complexity of partnership law is aptly demonstrated by the frequency of litigation in this area and the efforts of state legislators to provide guidance through the adoption of uniform laws.
NLRG's experience in partnership law embraces a full range of issues and services, from telephone reports on interpretation of a term in a partnership agreement to appellate briefs on complex issues raised by dissolution of a partnership.
The existence of the Uniform Partnership Act and the Uniform Limited Partnership Act and our nationwide experience in interpreting these Acts allows us to provide guidance to clients drafting partnership agreements and attempting to answer partnership questions not addressed in the client's jurisdiction. We also have the capability to resolve sophisticated questions not addressed by the uniform acts and the jurisdiction's existing case law.
