When founding partners develop hierarchy despite equal ownership

Three of us started this consulting practice together as equals but one founder has been client-facing while the other handles operations and I've been doing business development, and now the client-facing person thinks they're more important than the rest of us. We're supposed to be partners but it doesn't feel that way anymore.

What we've seen

You started as equal partners, but the client-facing one now acts like they matter most.
