Unless the partnership agreement says otherwise: All of the partners have the right to participate in the management of the partnership; ‘Ordinary’ partnership business decisions are decided by a majority of partners; and Certain ‘fundamental’ decisions affecting the partnership require unanimity (such as a change in the nature of the partnership business). Often this rule is augmented in a partnership agreement, for example to provide for voting based on the relevant partner’s capital investment or profit entitlement. As noted above, general partnership law requires unanimous agreement in relation to certain fundamental partnership decisions. This might be seen as unduly restrictive in a larger partnership or one where partners are investing different amounts of time, capital or expertise. It is common for partnership agreements to allow for a special majority decision of partners in such a situation – for example the requirement for unanimity may be reduced to requiring at least 75% of the partners to agree. This might apply, for example, to the introduction or expulsion of a new partner or to a change in the partnership’s business.
