Reviews for The Law of Limited Liability Partnerships

...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 * ...a comprehensive and authoritative source of reference on all aspects of LLP law for practitioners, and also for academics and postgraduate students. The close relationship of LLP law to that of general and limited partnerships, and to limited companies, means that this book will also be of interest to practitioners and researchers in those areas. * Partnership Law Forum * An indispensable reference for all practitioners involved with any aspect of LLPs. Yes, absolutely -- especially in this new edition, which certainly belongs in every practitioner's library. * Elizabeth Robson Taylor MA of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, Reviews Editor, The Barrister and Mediator *
