Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)

LLPs were introduced under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000 as a business vehicle designed to offer existing professional partnerships protection for a partner’s personal assets against the increasing risk of negligence claims. LLPs are now available to all partnerships and Tilly Bailey & Irvine is experienced in offering the necessary advice to incorporate an LLP and enable a smooth transition between partnership and LLP.

Essentially the main element of the protection afforded by adopting LLP status is limited liability for its members. However, to achieve this limited liability status, an LLP is incorporated in much the same way as a limited private company. An LLP must be incorporated and registered with Companies House and therefore has a more rigid and transparent administrative structure than a traditional partnership. Tilly Bailey & Irvine can advise you on the all aspects of incorporation and administrative requirements to comply with the most recent LLP legislation

Following incorporation it is advisable for the members of the LLP to enter into a members’ agreement to regulate the activities of the members in relation to the LLP business because the statutory position is not always the most appropriate model. Tilly Bailey & Irvine has the knowledge and expertise to be able to provide the members with sound legal advice as well as sensible commercial advice during the preparation process to ensure the LLP members’ agreement is both legally binding as well as commercially viable.
