copartnership
Shared business arrangement
A copartnership is a business arrangement where two or more parties share ownership, profits, and liabilities—essentially a synonym for partnership, though slightly more formal or old-fashioned.
The prefix emphasizes the joint nature of the venture: They entered into a copartnership to develop the property.
Legal and business documents sometimes prefer copartnership to stress mutual responsibility.
