A partnership is a business arrangement where two or more people share ownership and responsibility. In California, LPs, LLPs, and GP structures each have distinct liability and management rules that shape your documents.
Key elements include choosing a structure (LP, LLP, GP), drafting partnership or operating agreements, defining roles and profit sharing, and establishing procedures for adding new partners and winding down.
This section defines terms used in partnership law and outlines typical processes from formation to dissolution.
An LP consists of general partners who manage the business and limited partners who contribute capital and enjoy limited liability.
A GP is a partnership where all parties actively participate in management and share unlimited personal liability.
An LLP provides liability protection to partners while allowing them to participate in management.
A partnership agreement outlines ownership, roles, profit sharing, and procedures for dispute resolution and exits.
