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

Partnership Agreement

New York

Asked on Sep 3, 2024

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.

Answered Oct 1, 2024

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.

Assignment Of Partnership Interest

Texas

Asked on Sep 15, 2024

Can a partner assign their interest in a partnership without the consent of the other partners?

I am a partner in a small business partnership, and one of my fellow partners is looking to assign their interest in the partnership to a third party. However, we do not have any provisions in our partnership agreement regarding the assignment of partnership interests. I am concerned about the implications of this assignment and whether it can be done without the consent of the other partners. I want to understand the legal rights and obligations surrounding the assignment of partnership interests in order to make an informed decision and protect the interests of all partners involved.

Thomas D.

Answered Sep 27, 2024

It is highly unusual that your partnership agreement does not address this issue. If there is no agreement to the contrary, then subject to very limited exceptions, a partner can assign its partnership interest.

Partnership Agreement

Washington

Asked on Nov 15, 2023

How long is a partnership agreement valid?

I am considering entering into a partnership agreement with another person and I would like to know how long the agreement is valid. We are starting a small business together and I want to make sure that the agreement is legally binding and will remain valid for the duration of our partnership. I am looking for clarity on what the expiration date of the agreement is, if any, and any other important details that I should be aware of.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 28, 2023

I cannot give you legal advice in this format, and no attorney/client relationship is formed between us. If you enter into a partnership agreement, it will be valid until the end of time unless you either terminate it in accordance with the termination clauses in the contract or on a date specified in the contract. If you are asking such a basic question, I urge you to seek representation by an attorney (just you, solely) prior to signing this agreement or any other agreement you may be considering.

How do I get out of a partnership agreement?

I am looking at options on how to get out of a business partnership I entered into last year.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 30, 2021

It will depend on what your partnership agreement says. You would have to look to the language of the agreement you signed to determine that. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.
