Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This is the second installment of our episodes on partnerships. Previously, we covered the creation of the three main types of partnerships – general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships. Today we will focus on the power and liability of partners in a partnership.

In this episode we discuss:

• Authority of partners in a partnership
• Liability of partners in different partnership types:
  • General partnership
  • Limited partnership (LP)
  • Limited liability partnership (LLP)
• Applying the rules to two hypos from previous California bar exams
