Guidance needed on how to set up a partnership contract

[Account Closed]

Hello BP Community! I live in California and I'm exploring a partnership with someone that lives in a different state (Illinois). Together, we are targeting commercial properties in Tennessee and we are wondering if we need to work with a lawyer in the state that we are investing in to help us draft a partnership contract or if we can work with lawyers in our respective home states.

Any guidance and/or referrals will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
