Entering into a business partnership is a major decision that can shape the future of your company. Whether you’re launching a startup with a trusted colleague or restructuring an existing business, it’s essential to establish a clear, legally sound foundation. At Johnston, Moore & Weston, our experienced partnership lawyers in Huntsville, AL provide guidance through every stage of a partnership’s lifecycle—from formation and governance to dispute resolution.
A partnership agreement is more than just a formality—it’s a vital document that protects your rights, defines responsibilities, and helps prevent conflicts. Without proper legal structure, even the strongest business relationships can become strained by disagreements over finances, authority, or operations. Our Huntsville partnership attorneys ensure your agreement covers all critical areas and complies with Alabama partnership laws.

Jan Robinson2025-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Chris Weston. I was very impressed with his knowledge and understanding of my issue. He is very assertive, intuitive, and compassionate all at the same time. If you need someone who is going to fight for you, he’s your guy!!! His legal intern, Anniston, is great, too! Everything she added to the conversation was valuable. It was a very good experience. Meagan Yarbrough2025-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Delaine Harwood helped my family member with his case and we could not have asked for a better attorney. He was thorough in preparing for the case and communicated on a regular basis, even after hours when needed. Most importantly, he genuinely cared about my family member and not only the outcome of his case, but his overall well being. He helped him obtain a placement with a rehab facility that will best meet his needs. We are so thankful for Mr. Harwood and will recommend him to others.
