The Limited Liability Partnership Contract is a crucial document for businesses seeking to establish an LLP structure in Malaysia. This hybrid business vehicle, governed by the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2012, combines the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability protection typically associated with companies. The document is particularly suitable for professional services firms, small and medium enterprises, and joint ventures seeking operational flexibility while maintaining asset protection for partners. It includes comprehensive provisions for partnership governance, capital contributions, profit sharing, management structure, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The contract must comply with Malaysian regulatory requirements, including the appointment of compliance officers and maintenance of proper records. This document type is especially relevant for businesses looking to scale operations while maintaining professional autonomy and limiting personal liability.
