Why Partner with EPIC
- Written partnership agreement dilemmas may arise as a result of the Partnership Act; current tax regulations and spousal legislation will apply to regulate what happens to those assets
- Your current agreements may not be properly worded to deal with the transfer of your interest in the firm and its income and, when applicable, carried interest
- It’s common to see a significant number of these arrangements not following key regulations and legislative guidelines
- These items can cause litigation risk and will cause taxation issues if not followed, many do not understand the nuances of these rules
- Avoid potential litigation from interested parties
- Carried interest for partners of a fund is illiquid and creates potential issues for the fund, family or other interested parties
- Trusts may not deal with the issue of a structured partnership agreement as you believe
