Solicitors for advice on Limited Liability Partnerships

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a form of corporate structure which is best thought of as a hybrid of a limited company and partnership. LLP’s have historically been popular with professional services organisations such as solicitors, accountants, doctors and dentists.

We advise many Limited Liability Partnerships clients. Our experience includes :-

  • Advising on the legal issues and work involved in transitioning to an LLP from a partnership

  • Forming the LLP structure

  • Drafting, advising on or reviewing LLP Agreements

  • Advising on disputes between LLP members
