ABOUT THIS PRACTICE

A Limited Liability Partnership is run by its partners. From its management to the operation, the partners direct the LLP towards its goals and vision.

Any change in partners and their details can be affected only after the approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.’

In order to add or remove a partner from LLP, the approval of other partners must be provided , which is succeeded by a change in the LLP Agreement and application to MCA to approve the changes. The application to MCA must be filed within 30 days of effective date of the change.
