LLPs & Partnerships

Employment Labour & Equalities - LLPs & Partnerships (UK) - website - banner - image

Overview

We advise clients in all sectors on the varying aspects of the setting up and operating of business through an LLP structure. We also assist and advise in relation to the Partnership Act 1890 (the Act) in relation to disputes between LLP members.

Individual LLP members need to understand the rights and obligations arising from membership and also how and why they might want to exit such a structure. Our cross-disciplinary LLP and partnership specialists can provide this advice.

Our team of experts can help you with corporate transactions involving LLP structures and on the creation and dissolution of structures as necessary.

Recent cases indicate an extension of statutory rights conferred on employees and workers. This is creating new obligations for LLPs towards their members. Such obligations include rights relating to disciplinary procedures and, potentially, inclusion in auto-enrolment processes for pension scheme membership.

We can advise on the impact of these extended rights and on the longer term trends suggested by recent decisions.

So if you think your business might be affected by these changes, then we're here to help. No matter what size your business is or the complexity of the advice you need, you can be sure you'll find the answers with us.
