General partnerships are the most common and basic, where all partners are liable for all contracts and torts of the partnership. Limited partners can accompany a general partnership and are liable only to the extent of their contributions to the company. An Limited Liability Corp (LLC) is available as a replacement to a general partnership that restricts liability to a partner. Many states offer this option to businesses, but it is a newer set of regulations and open to more uncertainty. A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is reserved for practicing businesses such as Accountants and lawyers The LLP is a good choice for these types of partnerships because they prevent liability to other partners when a single partner is sued for malpractice. Rules and regulations regarding an LLP are dictated by state laws and regulations.

What is the liability for members of partnerships?

There are two basic kinds of partnerships - general and limited partnerships:In a general partnership, the partners not only contribute money or property to the partnership, but they also participate in running the partnership's business.They are all considered "general partners", and every one of them can be held personally liable for a judgment against the partnership. That is, their personal assets can be seized to satisfy such a judgment if the partnerships assets are insufficient. What is more, general partners are jointly and severally liable, which means that a plaintiff, if he wishes, can recover the entire amount of a judgment from any single partner or combination of partners. (The partners who have to pay can sue the other partners for reimbursement of their share of the judgment).In a limited partnership, not all of the partners are general partners (although there must be at least one general partner, who is personally liable for partnership obligations just as in a general partnership). The limited partners are truly "silent" partners; they contribute money or property to the limited partnership, but they have no say in the running of the partnership's business, and they are not personally liablefor partnership obligations (i.e., their personal assets are protected from being seized to satisfy a judgment against the partnership.) Their liability for any judgment against the partnership is limited to the amount of their contribution to the partnership. So, while a limited partner could lose the amount of his investment in the partnership, that is all he can lose.
