The legal form of partnership company (PartG) is reserved exclusively for members of the professions. It corresponds to the general partnership (OHG). Lawyers, doctors or architects can choose this legal form as an example. Other professions can be incorporated into the partnership company.
Note: The partnership company is not compulsory for the professions. Other legal forms are also possible.
The partners are personally liable with their own assets as a rule. Should only individual partners have been occupied with the processing of an order, only they will be liable for professional mistakes alongside the partnership.
The partnership register is a public directory. The register is managed electronically. The partnership register discloses the actual and legal circumstances of a partnership on the basis of the details submitted by the partners. In particular, it contains the following details:
- Name, place of business and purpose of the partnership.
- Professional designation of all occupations belonging to the partnership.
- The partners involved in the partnership (first name, family name, place of residence, date of birth and power of representation).
- Opening, suspension or cancellation of insolvency proceedings (without these entries being made public)
- Dissolution of the partnership
- Deletion of the name of the partnership
For the entry of a partnership, all partners must register in the register.
