Märksõnad:
The Law of Limited Liability Partnerships is the leading text on this popular corporate vehicle. Containing penetrating analysis of problem areas, as well as practical guidance, it comprehensively sets out the law of limited liability partnerships in England and Wales.

This fourth edition has been brought completely up to date and includes new chapters on employment and worker status (2012 Court of Appeal decision in Tiffin v. Lester Aldridge LLP; and 2014 Supreme Court decision in Bates van Winkelhof v. Clyde & Co LLP), and discrimination and whistleblower protection as it affects LLPs. This new edition also contains commentary on recent case law including: Flanagan v Liontrust Investment Partners LLP in relation to the application of the doctrine of repudiation; F&C Alternative Investments (Holdings) Limited v. Francois Barthelemy and others in relation to members duties; Inversiones Frieira SL v. Colyzeo Investors II LP and Hilton v. D IV LLP in relation to partners/members rights to access information; and Reinhard v Ondra LLP in relation to the formation of LLP agreements.

Arvustused

...deservedly established as the leading work on the subject, for practitioners, for judges and for those setting up their new or existing businesses as LLPs -- Sir Michael Briggs * Foreword to the 3rd edition * The fourth edition of Whittakers and Machells work continues to provide a comprehensive coverage of the law of LLPs and is therefore a great introduction to this field of law. * The German-British Chamber of Industry & Commerce *
