Frequently Asked Questions

What is a partnership LP/LLP/GP and why use it?

We explain the differences between LP, LLP, and GP structures and outline how liability and taxation may affect your plan. We’ll guide you through selecting the best fit.

Formation timelines vary, but we streamline filings and document preparation to fit your schedule.

Typical formation documents include partnership agreements, certificate of partnership, and any required state filings.

Amendments can adjust ownership, governance, and liability protections without a full restructure in many cases.

Profits and losses are allocated according to the partnership terms and can be aligned with capital investments.

Liability depends on the structure; LPs limit liability for limited partners, while GPs bear more responsibility.

Ongoing counsel helps with compliance, contract updates, and governance changes as the business evolves.

Governance issues often involve decision rights, voting thresholds, and dispute resolution procedures.

State filings ensure proper formation and ongoing regulatory obligations are met.

Bring questions and documents to a consultation so we can review and advise on the best path forward.
