Closely-Held Business Symposium:  The Uniform Limited Partnership Act

This Symposium Issue is the brainchild of Professor Daniel S. Kleinberger at the William Mitchell College of Law and of course the Reporter for the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (2001) (ULPA 2001) adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL).  The Issue is dedicated to the late Martin I. Lubaroff, an American Bar Association Advisor to the ULPA 2001 Drafting Committee whose tireless efforts to promote the understanding of partnership law was legendary long before his passing and will remain even longer.  His silent footprints are scattered among ULPA 2001’’s many innovations that include the first uniform limited partnership act to exist independently of general partnership law, to set forth express limited liability limited partnership provisions, and to provide a full corporate-styled liability shield for limited partners regardless of the magnitude and scope of participation in the control of the business. . . .
