Legal Question in Business Law in New York

A partnership agreement or other document of that nature.

You and your friend will need to enter into a stock purchase agreement and a partnership agreement. In addition, the bylaws of the company (or the membership agreement if it's a LLC) has to be amended. In some situation you may also want to amend the certificate of incorporation (or certificate of organization if it's a LLC) and re-file it with the state.

You should be aware that there may be some tax consequences if not done properly.

Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience to handle this transaction.
