Moreover, it won’t be misnomer to state that it is a soul of the business relationship. It clarifies all the things that will be deemed equally when two partners will split in case of Shareholder and Partnership Disputes. But, what are the factors owing to which these disputes occur. Is it just because of the lack in mutual understanding or when one partner cheats the other? This might be a reason but apart from these there are many other reasons as well.
