Types of partnership agreements for civil engineering consulting firm

I am a civil engineer working for a civil consulting engineering firm. I am interested in learning about proper partnership agreements that protect the individual favorably, versus a company steered partnership agreement. The firm currently has a President (owner), and a Vice President. The company is currently an S-Chapter corporation under the laws of the State of New Jersey (home office, original state of start-up). I am ready to enter into a partnership type of agreement, however, I don't know about the various types of partnership arrangements one can consider. Thank You.

I wouldhave to know far more about your desires andwhat you hope to accomplish by forming such abusiness arrangement or entity. In the secondplace, there is no second place.
