An LP is a partnership with both general and limited partners; an LLP offers liability protection for partners in many professional practices; a GP is a general partner who typically manages the business and accepts liability for obligations. These structures are chosen for management flexibility, liability implications, and tax treatment under California law.
Choosing the right structure, drafting a clear partnership or operating agreement, filing necessary documents with state agencies, establishing governance and profit sharing, and outlining dissolution procedures are essential steps in a successful partnership arrangement.
This glossary explains common terms used in partnerships and business transactions to help clients understand roles, rights, and responsibilities.
A partnership is a business arrangement in which two or more people share profits, losses, and management responsibilities according to a written or informal agreement.
A general partner participates in management of the partnership and bears full personal liability for the partnership’s obligations.
A limited partner contributes capital and shares in profits but does not participate in day-to-day management and has liability limited to their investment.
A partnership agreement is a contract that outlines ownership, capital contributions, governance, profit sharing, and procedures for disputes and dissolution.
When planning partnerships and business structures, clients compare LPs, LLPs, GPs, and other forms such as corporations to balance control, liability, and tax considerations.
In smaller partnerships or controlled ventures, a limited approach can efficiently address risk while keeping costs reasonable.
