About this document

This agreement is suitable for any LLP requirement. It is assumed that all partners will be active in the business.

The document is comprehensive, and includes many options. It is structured so that you can take an option, or edit to suit your particular requirements.

For example, if your business is in science, technology or creative work, you will appreciate the very full provisions for management and protection of established and new intellectual property rights, new inventions, and derived products.

If an option is not relevant, you can easily reduce these to produce a document to your exact requirements.
