LLP Act, 2008 · LLP Rules, 2009
From the first draft of your LLP Agreement to the Certificate of Incorporation issued by the Registrar of Companies, we handle the statutory groundwork with precision — so your enterprise begins on a footing that is both legally sound and commercially prudent.
The Structure
Every corporate form asks something of its owners in exchange for what it offers. The LLP was conceived to demand less and offer more — retaining the informality partners have always valued, while borrowing the shield of liability that company law affords its shareholders.
No partner bears the consequence of another's misconduct or negligence — a protection analogous to that of a shareholder in a company. Yet unlike a shareholder confined to the sidelines, an LLP partner retains the standing to govern the enterprise directly.
In the eyes of the law, the LLP is a person unto itself, distinct from those who constitute it. It answers for its obligations to the full extent of its own assets — while each partner's exposure ends precisely at their agreed contribution.
The rights and duties owed between partners are set down in writing, in the LLP Agreement itself. The LLP, meanwhile, continues to answer for its own obligations as an entity in its own right.
The complete definition, offered here for reference — the same language your incorporation documents will come to echo.
LLP stands for Limited Liability Partnership, a corporate form governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Rules, 2009.
Its introduction was guided by a single intention: to fashion a structure that draws together the finer advantages of a Partnership and a Company, rather than forcing a choice between them.
What sets an LLP apart from an ordinary partnership is the principle of "Limited Liability" — no partner is held to account for the misconduct or negligence of another, much as a shareholder stands apart from a company's affairs. Yet unlike a shareholder, a partner in an LLP retains the right to involve themselves directly in its management.
An LLP carries greater legal weight than a partnership precisely because it possesses, as a company does, a separate legal identity apart from its partners. Put plainly: the LLP itself is liable to the full extent of its assets, while the liability of each partner is confined to the contribution they have agreed to make.
The rights and duties that bind the partners to one another are set out in the LLP Agreement drawn between them. The LLP, for its part, remains answerable for its own obligations as a legal entity in its own right.
