A partnership is a formal arrangement where two or more parties share ownership, profits, and responsibilities under a written agreement or governing documents.
Key elements include ownership structure, capital contributions, governance rules, dispute resolution, and exit provisions.
Definitions of LP, LLP, GP, partnership agreement, and related terms help you navigate California partnership law.
An LP has at least one general partner who manages the business and at least one limited partner who contributes capital and has limited liability.
An LLP shields partners from certain liabilities while preserving pass-through taxation and flexible management.
A partnership agreement outlines ownership, profit sharing, duties, and procedures for handling disputes and changes in the partnership.
An operating agreement governs internal operations, governance, and decision-making for complex partnerships and related entities.
We compare LPs, LLPs, GP arrangements and alternative structures to help you select the option that aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.

A partnership is a collaboration among two or more parties to run a business with shared profits and losses. In California, partnerships may involve LPs, LLPs, or GP-led structures with specific governance and liability implications.
LPs generally involve general partners who manage the business and assume broader liability, and limited partners who contribute capital with limited liability. LLPs provide liability protection for all partners while maintaining pass-through taxation, and GPs bear management responsibilities within their respective structures.
A partnership agreement should cover ownership percentages, capital contributions, profit and loss allocations, decision-making processes, dispute resolution, and exit or buy-out provisions.
The timeline varies with complexity, but planning, drafting, and finalizing partnership documents typically ranges from a few weeks to a couple of months.
Ongoing governance may include annual reviews, compliance checks, amendments to operating or partnership agreements, and monitoring regulatory changes.
Yes. We can guide the process to convert or reorganize an existing business into an LP, LLP, or GP-led structure, including necessary filings and agreements.
Tax treatment can be affected by the chosen structure. We explain potential pass-through treatment, allocations, and filing requirements under California law.
Local California counsel is often beneficial to ensure alignment with state requirements and ongoing governance needs.
Exit provisions, buyouts, and transition plans should be outlined in advance to protect interests and minimize disruption.
