Partnership Deed Drafting & Disputes Lawyer in Noida & Ghaziabad – Advocate David Chaudhary
Introduction
Partnership is one of the most common forms of business in India. While forming a partnership may seem simple, drafting a legally sound partnership deed and resolving disputes requires professional legal guidance.
A partnership deed is a legal document defining the roles, responsibilities, profit-sharing, and dispute resolution mechanisms among partners. Improper drafting or unclear terms often lead to conflicts, financial losses, and litigation.
Advocate David Chaudhary, practicing in Noida, Ghaziabad, and Delhi NCR, provides expert services in partnership deed drafting, registration, and dispute resolution, ensuring your business operates smoothly and legally compliant.
What is a Partnership Deed?
A partnership deed is a formal agreement between business partners outlining:
- 📌 Capital contribution by each partner
- 📌 Profit and loss sharing ratio
- 📌 Rights and duties of partners
- 📌 Management and decision-making procedures
- 📌 Terms for admission, retirement, or removal of partners
- 📌 Dispute resolution mechanisms
While the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 governs partnerships, a written deed minimizes misunderstandings and serves as legal evidence in court during disputes.
