Limited Liability Partnerships
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) allows all partners to have a form of limited liability, similar to that of the partners in a limited partnership or the shareholders of a corporation. However, unlike a limited partnership, the partners of an LLP have the right to manage the business directly.
Unlike many other jurisdictions, in the Northwest Territories, the LLP is open to any business partnership, and not just to individuals that are members of a regulated profession.
Those individuals wishing to form an LLP who are members of an eligible profession as defined in the regulations to the Partnership Act will have to provide proof with their application to become an LLP that they have the approval of their profession’s governing body to do so.
There are no prescribed forms to register a limited liability partnership or an extra-territorial limited liability partnership in the Northwest Territories. Instead, an application to register a limited liability partnership must provide the information specified in section 102.9 of the Partnership Act. Similarly, an application to register an extra-territorial limited liability partnership must provide the information specified in section 102.25 of the Partnership Act.
