Limited Partnerships

The Law practice operating within GLC provides legal advice in the process of establishing limited partnerships.

It also provides support in the transformation of existing business entities into a limited partnership.

In practice, a limited partnership is an advantageous form of conducting business, both in terms of reduced business risk and tax optimisation. Having the appropriate legal structure, the limited partnership allows to exclude shareholders from personal liability and to avoid double taxation.
