Limited Liability Partnership Agreement
California
What are the advantages and disadvantages of forming a limited liability partnership (LLP) for my business?
I am currently in the process of starting a small business with a partner, and we are considering forming a limited liability partnership (LLP) as our business structure. We have heard that LLPs offer certain benefits such as limited personal liability for partners, but we are also aware that there may be some drawbacks, such as potential tax implications or restrictions on ownership. We would like to understand the advantages and disadvantages of forming an LLP so that we can make an informed decision about the best structure for our business.
Dolan W.
Hello! There are some advantages to an LLP for sure. The first one is partners in an LLP are generally protected from personal liability for business debts and obligations. Each partner is also shielded from liability for the negligent acts of other partners, which can be a big advantage in professions with potential liability concerns, such as legal or financial services. One of the biggest advantages is tax-related. Similar to a general partnership, an LLP allows profits and losses to pass through to individual partners’ tax returns, avoiding double taxation. This setup can reduce the tax burden compared to a traditional corporation. LLPs also have an easy set-up and are bogged down by dense corporate bylaws like corporations and because certain licensed professions, like law or accounting, are required to operate as LLPs, it adds a sense of credibility and professionalism. The downsides? California limits LLPs primarily to certain licensed professions, such as attorneys, accountants, and architects, as I mentioned above. This restriction may limit your options if your business does not fall into these categories. You may need an LLC if it's not one of those professions. Also, California requires LLPs to pay an annual minimum franchise tax of $800, which may be a burden for smaller operations. If you need money, investors or lenders might prefer the corporate structure, which they view as more stable. Best of luck. We can draft documents like partnership agreements for you. Dolan

Can a partner in a partnership agreement be held liable for the actions of another partner?
I am currently in a partnership agreement with two other individuals, and we have recently encountered a situation where one of the partners engaged in illegal activities on behalf of the partnership. I am concerned about the potential liability that I may face as a result of their actions, and I would like to know if it is possible for a partner to be held personally liable for the actions of another partner in a partnership agreement.
Akash K.
As with most legal questions, the answer is "it depends". In this case, it would depend largely on the relationship between your partner's illegal activities and the partnership - which would also be impacted by the type of partnership, terms of the partnership agreement and any actual or constructive knowledge you and/or your partner had regarding the illegal actions. However, in some cases it would be possible to be held personally liable for your partner's actions.

When is it appropriate to use a memorandum of understanding?
I am discussing a partnership with another company and we will be doing a pilot before integrating our software. The other party has asked us to provide a partnership agreement. I read about memorandum of understandings and wanted to learn more about what they are used for.
Jane C.
You may use a Memorandum of Understanding when you want a written agreement that is less formal than a contract yet still outlines the terms of your partnership.
