Legal Cases on Agency, Fiduciary Duty, and Corporate Governance Practice Test

Dissociation means a partner leaves the partnership. When someone exits, their authority to act for the firm ends for future dealings, and the partnership’s composition changes. This is about withdrawing from the partnership, not about bringing in a new partner or ending the business. Admitting a new partner is a separate event called admission; winding up and termination are part of dissolution, the process that ends the partnership’s existence. So the event described by dissociation is a partner leaving the partnership.
