LAS VEGAS PARTNERSHIP LAWYER

In Nevada, general partnerships are governed by the Uniform Partnership Act. A partnership is when two or more persons carry on as co-owners in a business for profit. A general partnership does not require any special filings of business formation documents with the State. However, before starting a partnership or conducting business, a Nevada Business License or Notice of Exemption is required from the Secretary of State. While a general partnership may be deemed as the simplest business entity to create, it also comes with the most risks, as a general partner, you may be personally liable for the obligations and debts of the partnership, even if it is a partner that incurs the liability.

Also unique to a general partnership is the option of either having a written partnership agreement or not. If you feel a partnership is the right venture for you, The Dean Legal Group highly suggests letting us draft a partnership agreement to assist in defining the rules, obligations, rights, and terms for the partnership. In particular, there are very valuable provisions which should be added to a partnership agreement including: the allocation of profits and losses; the management authority of each partner, as well as how to resolve partnership disputes. Without these, and other issues decided before the business begins, you are potentially setting you self-up for disaster and a partnership dispute which will lead to expensive litigation later.
