This Limited liability partnership (LLP) agreement provides a contractual framework which regulates the conduct of the members of the LLP. At the same time, the agreement provides key management structures and limits the liability of the members whilst retaining organisational and financial flexibility. This document is suitable for small- to medium-sized LLPs of no more than 20 members. Please note that this can only be used for LLPs consisting of individual members, and not companies or other LLPs.
A Partnership agreement is a contract between the members of a partnership which defines the responsibilities and powers of the partners. It also sets out the systems and procedures involved in running the partnership.
A Shareholders' agreement should be used to set out the duties and responsibilities of a limited company's shareholders. Shareholders can be individuals or companies or a combination of both. However, this shareholders' agreement is not appropriate for companies with more than one class of shares.
A Mutual non-disclosure agreement is a bilateral or two-way non-disclosure agreement where two parties are disclosing information to one other and each wants to retain control of the information that they have disclosed. The agreement prevents either of them from disclosing information received without the other's consent.
A Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is an agreement that allows the discloser of confidential information to prevent the recipient of that information from releasing information without the consent of the discloser. This is particularly useful in negotiations taking place on the basis of sensitive information that the discloser would not want going public should negotiations fail.
