GP Partnership Disputes & Dissolution

Partnership disputes and dissolutions are traumatic for everyone involved and frequently arise in the health sector, as in any business. A well-drafted, specialist partnership agreement will usually help to avoid serious disputes. However, if a dispute does arise that cannot be resolved by following agreed procedures, our Team can help.

Disputes can easily spiral out of control and become a major drain on a practice's time and resources unless handled quickly and efficiently. Our Team has a wealth of experience in this area and will help to find sensible, practical solutions as an alternative to litigation wherever possible.

Our services in this area include:

Mediation
Arbitration
Retirement agreements
