Mauritius: FSC circulates concept paper on LLP for consultation


The purpose of this paper is to analyse those jurisdictions which have adopted Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and determine whether there is a need for the introduction of LLP in Mauritius. Research has shown that many countries like the United Kingdom, Singapore, United States, Jersey, India and Panama, amongst others, have implemented a legal framework for the regulation of LLPs.

This paper presents the concept of LLP, analyses those jurisdictions where LLP has been introduced, those where it has been turned down and the reasons why, the specificity of the Mauritian context along with the relevance of LLP, the best model to choose for Mauritius, the safeguards in the regulation of LLP and the list of issues to consider when opting for the introduction of LLP in Mauritius.
