A Limited Partnership is a business structure consisting of at least one general partner who manages the business and is personally liable for debts, and one or more limited partners who contribute capital and have limited liability. This configuration offers flexibility in management and investment, balancing control and risk among partners.
Forming a Limited Partnership requires filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the state, creating a partnership agreement outlining roles and responsibilities, and understanding tax and liability implications. Our legal services guide you through these processes to ensure your LP is set up correctly from the start.
To better understand Limited Partnerships, it’s important to familiarize yourself with common terms used in business law related to LPs. These definitions provide clarity on the roles, legal obligations, and processes involved in partnership management.
A General Partner is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Limited Partnership and holds unlimited personal liability for the partnership’s debts and obligations.
A Limited Partner contributes capital to the partnership but does not participate in management and has liability limited to their investment in the partnership.
The Partnership Agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights, duties, and responsibilities of each partner, as well as the terms for distributing profits and handling disputes.
This certificate is a formal document filed with the state government to legally establish the Limited Partnership and make it recognized under state law.

A general partner manages the partnership and holds unlimited personal liability for its debts.

Understanding these roles is key to structuring your partnership effectively. General partners undertake operational responsibilities, while limited partners provide financial support with reduced liability risk.
Forming a Limited Partnership in Arizona involves filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Additionally, partners should draft a comprehensive partnership agreement to clarify roles, profit sharing, and other operational terms. Our firm assists clients in preparing and submitting the necessary documents, ensuring compliance with state law. We also guide you through the legal considerations to establish your LP securely.
Limited partners have liability protection limited to the amount of their investment in the partnership. This means they are generally not personally liable for partnership debts beyond their capital contribution. However, if limited partners participate in management activities, they may risk losing this liability protection. It is important to understand these limitations to safeguard personal assets while engaging in the partnership.
A partnership agreement is highly recommended for any Limited Partnership. This legal document sets forth the rights and duties of each partner, profit and loss distribution, management responsibilities, and procedures for dispute resolution. While not always mandatory by law, having a clear agreement helps prevent misunderstandings and provides a framework for operating the partnership effectively. Our firm assists with drafting and reviewing these agreements.
Regular review of your LP agreement is important to ensure it remains aligned with changes in the business and applicable laws. We recommend reviewing the agreement at least annually or whenever there are significant changes in partnership structure, management, or state regulations. Timely updates help maintain clarity among partners and compliance with legal requirements, reducing potential risks.
Yes, partners can be added or removed after the formation of the LP, but such changes typically require amendments to the partnership agreement and filings with the state. These modifications should be carefully documented to reflect new roles, capital contributions, and profit sharing arrangements. Our legal team can assist in managing these changes to ensure they are legally valid and clearly communicated among partners.
Limited Partnerships are generally treated as pass-through entities for tax purposes, meaning profits and losses pass through to partners’ personal tax returns. However, specific tax obligations may vary depending on the partnership’s structure and activities. It is advisable to consult with tax professionals in coordination with legal counsel to understand all tax responsibilities and optimize tax planning for your LP.
