equal partnership
Fifty-fifty joint venture
An equal partnership is an arrangement where two or more parties share power, responsibility, and benefits on the same terms.
The phrase emphasizes balance and mutual respect, distinguishing it from relationships where one party dominates: Marriage should be an equal partnership.
In business contexts, it typically means partners hold identical stakes and decision-making authority.
