The Employee Partnership Agreement is utilized when organizations wish to offer partnership status to key employees while maintaining an employment relationship. This hybrid arrangement, common in U.S. professional services firms and growing businesses, requires careful structuring to comply with both partnership and employment laws. The agreement typically covers ownership rights, profit participation, management responsibilities, and continued employment terms, while addressing tax implications and regulatory requirements. It's particularly important in professional services firms where partner-track positions are common, and in growing businesses looking to retain key talent through equity participation.
