This service covers formation, governance, and ongoing compliance for LP, LLP, and GP structures.
We help you choose the right structure, draft essential agreements, and implement governance mechanisms to support stable operations.
A partnership structure defines who manages the business, who bears liability, and how profits and losses are allocated. An LP limits liability for limited partners, while a General Partner oversees management and may bear greater liability.
Key elements include a formal partnership agreement, capital contributions, governance provisions, dissolution and buy sell provisions, and ongoing regulatory compliance. We guide you through drafting, review, and execution.
This glossary explains common terms used in LP, LLP, and GP partnerships, and the processes involved in formation and management.
An LP contributes capital but does not participate in day-to-day management; liability is typically limited to the amount invested.
A GP manages the partnership and may bear personal liability for the partnership’s obligations, with fiduciary duties to the other partners.
An LLP provides liability protection for individual partners while allowing for flexible management and pass-through taxation in many contexts.
A Partnership Agreement sets out roles, voting, contributions, profit sharing, and procedures for changes or dissolution.
