This type is highly favored by and suitable for individuals engaged in professional services such as lawyers, architects, accountants, management consultants etc. Foreign individuals and companies can form a LLP but must appoint a local manager.

However this comes with safeguards in law to minimize abuse and provide protection to parties who deal with the LLP. The LLP is a body corporate and has legal personality separate from its partners. The LLP has perpetual succession. Any change in the partners of a LLP does not affect its existence, rights or liabilities.
