Section 132. Fictitious copartnership names  


Latest version.
  • 1.  A person who transacts
      business, using the name, as a partner, of one not interested  with  him
      as a partner, or using the designation "and company," or "& Co." when no
      actual  partner  is represented thereby is guilty of a misdemeanor. This
      section shall not apply to any case, where it is specially prescribed by
      statute that a partnership name may be continued in use by a  successor,
      survivor, or other person.
        2.  Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed
      to  prohibit  the  use  of  the  designation  "and  associates"  or   "&
      associates"  by  a  professional  or professionals who actually practice
      such profession with or employ one or more other  professionals  engaged
      in such profession.
