Themis Bar Practice Exam

What is required to admit a new partner?

Majority vote of all partners Consent of the managing partner Written notice to all partners Consent of all existing

Correct Answer:

Consent of all existing

Explanation:

Admitting a new partner is effectively changing the partnership’s structure, including ownership, liability, and how profits are shared. Because this change impacts every existing member, it normally requires unanimous consent of all existing partners. The partnership agreement and applicable law treat adding a partner as an amendment to the agreement, and such amendments typically require the agreement of every partner unless the document says otherwise. A simple majority or just the managing partner’s consent isn’t enough to safeguard everyone’s interests, and written notice alone doesn’t grant approval. So, unanimous consent of all existing partners is required.
