Non Equity Partnership Agreement

"I need a Non Equity Partnership Agreement for a medium-sized accounting firm based in Manchester, bringing on three senior managers as non-equity partners from March 2025, with specific provisions for potential progression to equity partnership after three years."

Document background
The Non-Equity Partnership Agreement is essential for professional partnerships operating under English and Welsh law who wish to expand their senior leadership without immediately offering equity participation. This document typically arises when a partnership wants to reward and retain talented professionals by offering them partner status and enhanced benefits, while maintaining existing ownership structures. It covers crucial aspects such as profit-sharing arrangements, voting rights, responsibilities, and potential pathways to equity partnership, all while ensuring compliance with the Partnership Act 1890 and related legislation.
