The purpose of the study is to identify the features of a simple partnership agreement that affect its legal qualification and law enforcement. Methodology. In the course of the research, methods of generalization, description, analysis, synthesis, comparative, historical and formal legal methods were used. Results. A simple partnership agreement is a multilateral transaction, the participants of which are not divided into active and passive parties.

The contract of a simple partnership is organizational, since its content consists of the rights and obligations for interaction, information, and the procedure for carrying out the activities of the partners, which can be designated as an internal legal relationship of the participants. The contract historically refers to fiduciary, but for investment partnerships, and, de lege ferenda, for business partnerships, the degree of fiduciary is weakening.
