Partnership Legal Questions and Answers

Partnership

Limited Liability Partnership Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 25, 2024

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.

Answered Oct 29, 2024

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

Settlement Agreement

Texas

Asked on Dec 14, 2023

Can I revoke a settlement agreement?

I recently entered into a settlement agreement with a business partner to end a dispute. However, I have since discovered that they did not fully disclose the terms of the agreement and I believe I have been deceived. I am now unsure if I should revoke the settlement agreement and pursue other legal options. Can I revoke a settlement agreement?

Darryl S.

Answered Jan 23, 2024

This is a situation where fraud by the counterparty may possibly allow for revocation, but the agreement must be reviewed by legal counsel and the facts must establish a strong case.
