The exact content of a limited liability partnership agreement will be based on the circumstances and needs of LLP and its members, who have considerable freedom to agree on all conditions they deem necessary and appropriate. One agreement can be very different from another in terms of scope, content and complexity. For these reasons, it is advisable to seek the advice of a lawyer or accountant before an agreement is reached to ensure that it best meets the needs of LLP members.

This could form the basis of any claim they may make. Petitions where a member feels disadvantaged under the 2006 S.994 Companies Act or LPLs are dissolved under the Insolvency Act 1986 are often costly, unpredictable and time-consuming. As the Eaton/Caulfield case [2011] shows, the English and Welsh courts have yet to develop clear and consistent guidelines on the outcome of these cases for LLP members, leading to an uncertain outcome. In the absence of agreement on any issue, members must refer to the provisions of Item 15 (c), which were adopted as the Limited Liability Partnership Regulations of 2001.
