Partnership Formation: Key Considerations

Partnership arrangements should clearly describe the parties, their contributions, responsibilities, decision-making and how disputes or exits will be handled. The appropriate structure and documentation depend on the applicable law and the commercial arrangement.

What should you consider?

Before beginning, identify the purpose of the process, the country or authority involved, any deadline, and the documents you already have. Ask the receiving authority what form of document, certification or supporting evidence it will accept.

Useful questions to ask

• Which authority or organisation will receive the document or application?
• Are original documents required, or will certified copies be accepted?
• Does the process require translation, witnessing, attestation or legalisation?
• Are there current forms, fees, timeframes or submission rules to check?
