Partnership law is as old as commerce itself. Its history as a profit-sharing
device can be traced from the ancient Near-Eastern civilizations to its present
day position as one of the most important forms of business enterprise.The Roman societas, the lex mercatoria and the mediaeval commenda have
been identified as pre-eminent among the main historical influences that
shaped the law of partnership.
