LLP is a kind of business entity which brings together the advantages of both partnership & company where one partner is not responsible for other partners’ negligence or misconduct. Each partner has limited liability towards the organization. No one is personally liable to pay out of their personal property for any liability that arises towards the organization.
Every LLP shall have a least two designated partners, a least one of which must be resident in India. To add a new partner to existing LLP consent of all partners is required. However, if the LLP agreement allows that one partner can add new partner without the consent of other partners, then the consent of all partners is not required.
