A&O are indeed an LLP.

Its fairly typical to refer to 'Parners' even though technically you're right to say they are 'Members'.

There is no joint liability as notice in use of the term is provided.

'The term "partner" is used to refer to a member of Allen & Overy LLP or an employee or consultant with equivalent standing and qualifications or an individual with equivalent status in one of Allen & Overy LLP's affiliated undertakings..'.

So those referred to as 'Partners' of A&O (or anyone else) may not 'even' be Members.
