About

Provided by Brodies LLP

We offer the full range of structuring, formation, restructuring, regulatory, tax, banking & finance and dispute resolution services in relation to partnerships, SLPs, LLPs and their various applications.

With our focused regulatory and tax practices, we can identify potential issues and address them at an early stage. We also have the ability to discuss proposals with our litigation colleagues, meaning that potential sources of conflict can be addressed from the outset.

We work closely with city firms and leading firms in the US and other global fund centres, to assist in the development of cross border arrangements that are robust and workable. As a result of our broad practice and experienced team we bring both technical expertise and extensive market experience to our projects.

Our expertise covers the complete package of lead counsel advice to clients, taking them from initial structuring questions and tax planning, through implementation and assisting with any disputes or restructurings. We provide high quality advice on non-contentious and contentious partnership matters to both UK and overseas clients in connection with a broad range of matters.
