Description
The partnership structure is widely utilized in Ireland, especially among professionals such as accountants, solicitors, and doctors, due to restrictions on practicing through companies and its status as the default business organization. Despite its popularity, partnership law in Ireland has received limited attention compared to other jurisdictions like Scotland and England. The lack of Irish research has led to reliance on English legal positions in Irish courts, highlighting the need for a comprehensive analysis of partnership law. This need is underscored by recent developments such as calls for multi-disciplinary partnerships and proposed changes in the UK’s partnership landscape. The aim of this textbook is to fill the gap in Irish legal literature by examining Irish court decisions and legislation from the 18th century to the present, while also considering partnership laws in other jurisdictions. The author hopes to contribute to the development of partnership law in Ireland and facilitate discussions on related topics such as incorporation of professional practices and limited liability partnerships. While efforts have been made to reflect the law accurately as of 31 May 2000
