Section 139
Name of limited liability law partnership
(1)
The Director of Legal Services must not approve the name or proposed name of a limited liability law partnership if in his or her opinion that name or proposed name fails to satisfy such criteria as may be prescribed by rules made under section 150.
(2)
The partners of a limited liability law partnership must ensure that every invoice or official correspondence of the limited liability law partnership bears the statement that it is incorporated with limited liability.
(3)
No name of a limited liability law partnership may be changed without the prior written approval of the Director of Legal Services.
(4)
Despite anything in this section or the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2005, where the Director of Legal Services is satisfied that the name of a limited liability law partnership has been approved (whether through inadvertence or otherwise and whether originally or by change of name) in contravention of subsection (1) —
the Director of Legal Services may direct the limited liability law partnership to change its name; and
the limited liability law partnership must comply with that direction within 6 weeks after the date of the direction or such longer period as the Director of Legal Services may allow.
