Limited Liability Partnership Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a Partnership Agreement?

New legislation does not require you to have a written partnership agreement in the UK in order to register as a Limited Liability Partnership. However from a legal and practical view point you should certainly have an agreement in writing with your proposed partner setting out the terms of your partnership so it can be referred to especially in the event of a dispute. The sort of matters we would cover in the agreement are set out below:-
  • Business of the partnership
  • Firm name and location
  • Duration
  • Partnership property
  • Financial Provisions

  • Profits and losses
  • Drawings
