LLP compared with ordinary partnership liability

An English limited liability partnership and an ordinary English partnership each have three members or partners. In each firm, one gives negligent advice to a client in the ordinary course of the firm's business, causing loss for which the firm is liable. The other two were members or partners when this happened, took no part in the advice, assumed no personal responsibility to the client and gave no guarantees. Which best compares the client's rights against those other two people merely because of their membership or partnership?
