limited liability partnership
(us business law) a type of business organization which is a cross between a partnership and a corporation. in a private partnership, all of the partners own all the -ssets in common and have unlimited liability; in a corporation, the firm -ssets are owned by a legal “person,” and shareholders are liable only for the value of their stake (equity) in the firm.
partnerships have higher risk for members, but their management can disclose a lot less and the taxes are lower. limited/limited liability partnerships represent a compromise.
in a limited partnership, one or more of the partners has unlimited liability (“general partners”) and the others have liability limited to their equity stake in the firm (“limited partners”). a limited partnership is indicated by the initials “lp” after the name, e.g. apollo management, lp.
in a limited liability partnership, all members have limited liability; specifically, the other partners of the llp are shielded from torts for malpractice against the other partners, but they are legally responsible for financial claims against the whole organization. llp liability varies somewhat by state law (several us states do not permit llp’s at all), and somewhat by the terms of the llp agreement for that particular partnership.
apologies to urban dictionary for an error in the definition of private equity fund and hedge fund: both types of fund are almost never llp’s; they are often limited partnerships (lp’s).
the limited liability partnership is a popular form of business organization for lawyers and other professionals.
