Partnerships establish shared ownership and responsibility. LPs, LLPs and GPs each have distinct legal characteristics that affect liability, management and taxes. We tailor the approach to your venture’s size, goals and risk tolerance.
From drafting agreements to filing requirements and ongoing governance, we cover every step to help you form, operate and exit partnerships smoothly.
A partnership is a business arrangement where two or more people share ownership, management and profits. Depending on the structure, partners may assume different levels of liability and control under California law.
Key elements include selecting the partnership form, drafting a comprehensive agreement, defining capital contributions, profit sharing, governance, buy-sell provisions and exit strategies. The processes involve filing where required, ongoing compliance, and periodic updates to reflect changes in the business.
