Law books aimed at practitioners tend to be hybrids: they must be a reliable statement of the law but must also be practical and direct. A practitioner’s appetite for academic uncertainty tends to be inversely proportional to their chargeable hours target, yet practicality can be a synonym for simplification, and with simplification always comes some inaccuracy. This book is clear and concise but accurate.

The authors, in their own words, ‘set out to create something that can be pulled from the shelf and provide clear, insightful, thematic and practical guidance on the main issues that arise time and again in the world of partnerships and LLPs’. They have succeeded.

Experience-based guidance

The team of authors and contributors, consisting of two barristers, a solicitor and an academic, is well balanced
