Description

Containing penetrating analysis of problem areas, as well as practical guidance, The Law of Limited Liability Partnerships comprehensively sets out the law of limited liability partnerships in England and Wales.

The Sixth Edition has been brought completely up to date and includes:

- New LLP case law on LLP agreements, expulsion, standing of former members to apply for the restoration of a dissolved LLP, the enforceability of pre-incorporation contracts, discrimination, appointment of receivers and disqualification
- New case law on tax issues affecting LLPs including on the salaried member rules and capital allocation
- An expanded chapter, written in conjunction with local contributors, outlining LLP structures in overseas jurisdictions including corporate entity LLPs in Dubai, Qatar, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Guernsey, Gibraltar and Mauritius and non-corporate LLPs in the US, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Ireland, Jersey, Belize, and the Cayman Islands

For legal practitioners and other professionals advising on the incorporation of an LLP, and on any of the legal and taxation aspects of carrying on a business through the medium of an LLP, The Law of Limited Liability Partnerships is a 'must have' purchase.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Partnerships online service.
