German term

GbR-Gesellschaft

German to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
According to my dictionary, this translates into a "partnership under German civil code". Since this term is used many times throughout my document, is there a more concise alternative out there?

The following is just a small example:

Der Wert der Beteiligung der dem Vermögen eines jeden Gesellschafters zugerechnet wird, entspricht seinem Anteil am GbR-Vermögen. Da die GbR im o. g. Beispiel aus zwei Gesellschaftern besteht, werden A und B jeweils 50% des GbR-Vermögens aber auch der Verbindlichkeiten zugerechnet.

I also ticked "case-sensitive search", FWIW.

Strange, I enter GbR and "GbR" into the KudoZ glossary, and this thread does not come up.

company under civil law

but, what I'd do here is define the entity, i.e. the first time *Gesellschaft des bürgerlichen Rechts* occurs, write:

*company under [German] civil law [hereinafter the "Company"]* (in brackets because you're doing the defining)

use *Company* thereafter

or: ... [hereinafter the \"Partnership\"]

don\'t forget to capitalize the defined term throughout
