Limited Liability Partnership Registration

The Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008 defined limited liability partnership as a corporate or incorporates body formed under this act. LLP has its separate legal entity from its partners and has perpetual succession. The changes in the partners will not affect the existence, rights, and liabilities of the LLP. Limited Liability Partnership is an alternative corporate business form that gives the benefits of the flexibility of a partnership and limited liability of a company. LLP has the capability to enter into any contracts and holding of property in its own name.

The Limited Liability Partnership has a separate legal entity, who is liable to the full extent of its assets, but the liability of the partners is limited according to the agreed contribution in the LLP. However, no partner will be liable for any unauthorized and independent actions of the partners. Therefore, individual partners are jointly liable for the wrongful business decisions or misconduct of other partners. An agreement between the partners decides the mutual rights and duties of the partners within a LLP. The LLP, however, is not relieved of the liability for its other obligations as a separate entity.
