This glossary explains common terms used in partnership and business-transaction work, including LP, LLP, GP, and related concepts used in California practice.
A partnership is a voluntary agreement among two or more persons to operate a business for profit, with partners sharing in profits, losses, and management responsibilities.
An LP consists of general partners who run the business and assume liability, and limited partners who contribute capital and have limited liability.
An LLP provides liability protection for partners against the actions of other partners while allowing them to participate in management.
A GP is a traditional partnership where all partners share management duties and personal liability for the business’s debts and obligations.
We compare LPs, LLPs, and GPs, highlighting liability, governance, tax treatment, and required compliance to help you choose the best fit for your goals.
