Professional firms need rules to govern relations between partners.
These rules concern governance, compensation and profit sharing, the incurring of expenses and the management of partner exits (voluntary or not).
JENSEN & SCHWEBLIN has considerable experience and expertise in all these areas.
JENSEN & SCHWEBLIN advises its clients to help them establish the rules best suited to their project and their principles. These rules are then set out in a set of internal rules intended to apply to the firm.
Clearly drafted, precise and appropriate rules are essential both to manage day-to-day operations and to calmly resolve crises.
When matters of corporate social responsibility are concerned, the internal rules of the firm may be supplemented or accompanied by a charter or rules of conduct or specific principles.
