Limited Liability Partnership

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a partnership structure that provides limited liability protection to partners for certain obligations of the partnership while retaining partnership-style taxation and governance. In professional services and some investment contexts, a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) can be used to organize firms and manage liability, though it is less common for VC-backed operating companies.
