Trusted legal expertise for partnerships in healthcare, finance, surveying, and other regulated professions across England and Wales.

Specialist legal advice for your professional partnership

Your partnership. Our legal support.

Professional partnerships operate under unique pressures—commercial, regulatory and personal. Whether you’re launching a new practice, facing a partnership dispute or planning a partner’s exit, expert legal advice can protect your practice and your future.

At Tees, we specialise in advising professional partnerships. We work with GPs, accountants, architects, dentists, surveyors and veterinary surgeons, offering practical legal solutions tailored to the realities of professional life.

How we can help

Our legal services are tailored to the specific needs of professional partnerships:

Partnership agreements

Clear agreements are the foundation of a stable practice. We draft, review and update bespoke documents covering profit sharing, decision-making, retirement, expulsion, and succession.

Mergers and acquisitions

Thinking of merging or expanding your practice? We’ll guide you through due diligence, compliance, negotiation and structure to ensure smooth, secure transitions.

Disputes and dissolutions

When disagreements arise, we act quickly and sensitively. We resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation or litigation—always aiming to protect your interests and preserve relationships.

Retirement, expulsion and succession

We advise on exits, partner retirements and planning for the future—protecting all parties and ensuring the continuity of the practice.
