Limited Partnership

by | Feb 5, 2026

In real estate and business law, a Limited Partnership is a partnership structure made up of one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The general partners manage and control the partnership’s business affairs and are personally liable for its debts and obligations.

Limited partners primarily serve as investors and do not take part in day to day management. Their liability is limited to the amount of capital they have invested in the partnership, making this structure popular for real estate investment ventures.
