Partnership agreements in Spain

A Partnership Agreement is a legal contract between two or more individuals or companies who agree to carry on a business together with the intention of making a profit. In simple terms, it sets out how the partnership will operate – defining the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each partner.

At Gascon Bernabeu, our team of English-speaking Spanish solicitors help clients across Spain and the UK establish clear and reliable partnership agreements. We understand that when you are investing time and resources into a shared business venture, it’s vital to have a solid legal foundation in place. Our role is to make the process simple, transparent, and compliant with Spanish law so that all parties are protected from the start.

Our lawyers provide a professional and approachable service for both private individuals and corporate clients. We’ll take the time to understand your goals, explain your options in plain English, and prepare a contract that gives your partnership the best chance of long-term success.

Why a partnership agreement matters

A well-drafted partnership agreement helps prevent disputes and ensures that everyone involved understands how the business will be managed. It gives clarity on ownership, decision-making, and profit sharing, while setting out what happens if circumstances change in the future.

Put simply, a written agreement provides security and stability for all partners. Without one, misunderstandings or disagreements about responsibilities, investments, or profits can easily arise – particularly in international partnerships where cultural and legal differences may add complexity.

To avoid uncertainty, your partnership agreement should clearly outline key information such as:

• Partner information – the names, addresses, and contact details of all partners.
• Partnership name – the official name under which the business will operate.
• Partnership purpose – the activities or services the business will carry out.
• Capital contributions – how much money or assets each partner is contributing.
• Profit and loss sharing – how profits (and losses) will be divided among partners.
• Management and decision-making – who is responsible for key decisions and daily management.
• Partner duties and responsibilities – each partner’s specific roles within the business.
• Withdrawal and dissolution – how a partner can leave and how the partnership can be wound up.
• Dispute resolution – the agreed process for resolving disagreements.
• Confidentiality – provisions to protect sensitive or private business information.

Our team is dedicated to making sure every important detail is clearly covered and tailored to your situation. We know that every business is different, so we take the time to understand your specific needs and goals before drafting your agreement. Our aim is to create a practical solution that truly works for you and supports what you want to achieve.
