¡¥This
book ¡K
looks at ways in which [partnering]
may be implemented in practical terms. It is a
useful guide. I commend it to you.' Fiona
Hammond, writing in the foreword
to the book.
Julian Critchlow is a partner at Fenwick Elliott
Solicitors, the City law firm. He has advised on
a number of partnering arrangements.
Drawing upon the author's own practical
experience, this publication takes a balanced and
pragmatic approach in trying to fill the gap of
practical information on implementing partnering.
The book begins by considering the nature of
partnering and what distinguishes it from other
approaches. Importantly, it evaluates partnering
in terms of both advantages and disadvantages.
After a section on what partnering is, the bulk
of the book explores the central issue of how
partnering may be implemented and the potential
implications. The potential impact of both
domestic and EC legislation on partnering
arrangements is also examined.
