From 12 March 2021 onwards, Hayes solicitors is operating as a limited liability partnership, under the name Hayes solicitors LLP. We are authorised by the Legal Services Regulatory Authority to operate, from that date, as a limited liability partnership under the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015. This was a change in status only, not the creation of a new firm or new partnership.
From 12 March 2021, as set out in Section 123 the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015, (subject to the exceptions listed therein), a Partner in Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland, has no personal liability for any debts, liabilities or obligations which are incurred for the purpose of carrying on the business of Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland (whether these are liabilities of Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland, of himself or herself, of another partner/member or partners or members in Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland or of any employee, agent or representative of Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland) and however such liability may arise.
The above relates only to the personal liability of Partners and does not prevent or restrict the enforcement against the property of Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland of any debt, liability or obligation. The Partnership Act 1890 (Ireland) applies to Hayes solicitors LLP registered in Ireland to the extent that it is not inconsistent with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015.
