Limited Liability Partnerships Handbook 2nd ed 2007

Simon Young / Tottell / £68

Simon Young is an author who manages to make the complex understandable;  subjects that could easily be heavy and dull, entertaining and interesting. His new book is therefore an absolute must for the managing partner of any firm considering conversion or has completed the process.

When Young published the first edition of the book just a few months after limited liability partnerships (LLPs) came into being, relatively few firms had made the transition. This second edition draws upon his experience of working with a number of firms over the last six years and the issues that arose.

Firms embarking on the process will find six chapters especially useful.  They tackle:
 The background & legislative development.
 The definition of an LLP.
 The process of formation and naming.
 The transfer of business.
 Membership concepts.
 Designated members.

Those that have already completed the process will regard Young’s book as a bible to have on hand as issues arise.
