Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), as governed by the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2012, have become an increasingly popular business structure in Malaysia, offering the best of both worlds: the limited liability protection of a private company and the flexibility of a traditional partnership. In response to evolving business needs, the recently gazetted Limited Liability Partnerships (Amendment) Act 2024 introduces key provisions aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability. In this article, our Partner, M Inamul Hassan Shah and Shin Ying Ling, provide an overview of the notable changes, particularly on the disclosure of beneficial ownership information, as well as its implications for LLPs and their partners. #azmilaw #legalupdates #limitedliabilitypartnerships #beneficialownership
