Limited liability partnerships do have a writing requirement.
Although each partnership agreement differs based on business objectives, certain terms should be detailed in the document, including percentage of ownership, division of profit and loss, length of the partnership, decision making and resolving disputes, partner authority, and withdrawal or death of a partner.
So the document in writing containing the terms and conditions as agreed between the partners is called partnership deed.
