Fox Williams’ strategic consultant Tina Williams and head of professional services Daniel Sutherland develop Lexology’s new publication Getting the Deal Through: Partnerships

Members of Fox Williams’ professional practices team have developed and edited the inaugural 2019 edition of Partnerships, new to Lexology’s Getting the Deal Through (GTDT) series. Strategic consultant Tina Williams, head of professional services Daniel Sutherland and associate Ed Livingstone wrote the introduction, the UK chapter and edited each country chapter.

Writing in the introduction, Tina Williams states: “Choosing to adopt a partnership rather than a corporate model typically offers partners far greater freedom than is found in companies as to how and when the participants choose to divide profits and require capital to be invested, and how they allocate votes and management roles. This freedom to define a partnership’s constitution by agreement, rather than being constrained by statute, is among the most appealing aspects of the partnership and is one of the reasons for its success as a model. However, this freedom does have the potential to create traps for the unwary.”

“GTDT Partnerships”  examines the establishment and governance of partnerships across nine international jurisdictions, addressing key topics including taxation, reporting requirements, partners’ duties and dispute resolution procedures. The jurisdictions included are Brazil, Colombia, France, India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the USA.

Editor Tina Williams is ranked in The Legal 500 2020 Hall of Fame for Partnership. Clients say “Her experience is second to none, and this makes for simple, pragmatic and commercial solutions. Coupled with great client service, this is the compelling combination that all clients are seeking” (Chambers UK, 2019). Daniel Sutherland “provides legal and regulatory guidance which is top calibre. He also provides excellent practical advice” (Legal 500, 2020).

Tina commented “Partnerships are a popular and important part of the business landscape, yet an understanding of partnerships is often lacking compared with the many other vehicles through which business may be conducted. We are pleased to introduce this important new addition to the Lexology Getting the Deal Through series and provide the UK chapter, covering areas on which we advise our clients every day”.
