๐ฏ Answer: It depends on your partnership agreement! If you and your partner signed a Partnership Deed or have a Shareholders' Agreement, this will be your guiding document. Most agreements have buy-sell clauses that define how shares can be sold or transferred—either voluntarily or under specific conditions.

⚖️ Legal Points to Consider:
-
Buy-Sell Agreement – This typically sets out the conditions under which one partner can buy out the other's shares, such as a disagreement, withdrawal, or dissolution.
-
Exit Clauses – If you want to leave but don’t want to sell, or your partner insists on buying, the exit clause (if present) will play a major role.
-
Valuation of Shares – If you do have to sell, ensure the shares are properly valued, and you receive fair compensation.
