Limited Partnership – Legal Services
Limited Partnership (LP, LLP, LLLP)
With rare exceptions, when we form a LP, we prepare complete documentation as needed for the LP to operate, function, and carry out its intended business purposes. Often, a Business Limited Partnership will operate as a “Family Bank” and serve as a parent entity to own other assets and subsidiary structures. It has two kinds of partners: General Partners which, by law and by contract, have control and liability, and Limited Partners which, by law and by contract, have equity but no control and no liability beyond the initial contribution for the activities of the partnership. A Business Limited Partnership serves a powerful and important tool for structuring business succession, collaborative investment, consolidating assets for economies of scale, and other vital business functions.
The ownership and structure of the LP will be shown on your custom Legal Architectural Diagram.
