Notice of Partnership Withdrawal

For any given business partnership, the partnership agreement should hold the answer to this question. The agreement may so specify that any partner can withdraw at any time. However, it is more common to call for submitting a notice at a reasonable amount of time prior.

Usually defined in the partnership agreement, but there are generally three possible outcomes. One, the remaining partners may choose to dissolve the partnership. If that is the case, the partners receive the interests according to the agreement. Two, a third party can buy the interests of the partner who withdrew from the partnership, pending the approval of the remaining partners. Third and final, the remaining partners can buy out what is owed the withdrawing partner.

A joint venture involves two or more individuals combining their resources for a specific purpose. And the agreement is what defines the relationship.

In the final stage, probably a court of law. But most partners will agree to go through mediation and arbitration first. It is also a good idea to add a dispute clause in the partnership agreement to prevent an escalation to litigation right away.
