Limited Partnership Agreement
(DE)

This template limited partnership (LP) agreement can be used in the formation of a private Delaware limited partnership involving one general partner and at least one limited partner. This template highlights the use of a limited partnership in the context of a joint venture. This template contains practical guidance and drafting notes. A limited partnership is a partnership consisting of at least one general partner and at least one limited partner. A general partner manages the business of the partnership and has unlimited personal liability for the debts and obligations of the partnership. A limited partner, on the other hand, has limited liability, but cannot participate in the management or day-to-day affairs of the business. When a limited partnership is created to achieve the purpose of a joint venture, the partnership is typically managed by an entity formed to act as the general partner, with co-venturers appointing representatives to the general partner's managing board.
