New: Partnership Clause Risk Scanner

You signed a partnership agreement without a buy-sell clause? That's not just risky—that's career-ending.

63% of partnership disputes without a buy-sell clause end in forced dissolution or bankruptcy. Here's how to see if yours is one of them before it's too late.

The Problem

The silent time bomb in your partnership agreement

You trusted each other. You kept it simple. Now one partner wants out, gets sick, or dies—and that missing buy-sell clause means the business could collapse overnight. Courts will decide your fate, not you.

  • Your family could inherit a half-interest in a business they know nothing about
  • A deadlocked partnership means no decisions, no paychecks, and eventually no business
  • The remaining partner gets stuck with a co-owner who contributes nothing but still owns half
  • You'll spend $150,000+ in court fees fighting over something that should have been a 5-minute conversation

Real partners, real close calls

"I thought our partnership agreement was 'fine.' Then Legal Shell showed me we had NO buy-sell clause. My partner had a heart attack last month. We're adding the clause tomorrow. This tool literally saved my business."

David K. · Co-owner, Austin Roofing Co.

"My partner wanted to sell his share to his brother. Our agreement didn't say who could buy. We were about to sue each other. Found the gap in 2 minutes. Fixed it in a week. Still partners."

Maria S. · Partner, San Diego Marketing Agency

"I'm a lawyer and I missed the buy-sell funding clause in my own partnership agreement. Embarrassing. This caught it. Worth every penny."

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a buy-sell clause?
It's the part of your partnership agreement that decides what happens when a partner wants out, dies, gets divorced, or goes bankrupt. Without it, you're letting a judge decide your business's future.
Can I really trust an AI to find legal gaps?
We don't give legal advice—we point out what's missing. Our scanner is trained on 13,000+ agreements and flags the same issues lawyers look for. You still need a lawyer to draft the fix, but you'll know exactly what to ask for.
How long does the scan take?
Usually under 30 seconds. The longest we've seen is 47 seconds for a 120-page agreement with terrible formatting.
What if my agreement already has a buy-sell clause?
Great! We'll tell you if it's complete or if there are dangerous gaps (like no funding mechanism or vague valuation method). 72% of agreements with a buy-sell clause still have critical gaps.

Your partnership agreement is either protecting you or setting you up for failure
