Review proposed names and coordinate reservation.

LLP formation brings the partners' commercial understanding into the entity setup process. Before preparing documents, the partners should identify their contributions, working roles, decision-making expectations and the way they intend to share the results of the business.
The partnership arrangements should also anticipate change: admission of a new partner, a change in responsibilities, a funding requirement or a partner wishing to leave. These discussions inform the formation brief and the LLP agreement, helping the structure support the intended working relationship.
