Vermont § 3226 - Partner’s liability

§ 3226. Partner’s liability

• (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, all partners
  are liable jointly and severally for all obligations of the partnership unless otherwise
  agreed by the claimant or provided by law. (b) A person admitted as a partner into an existing partnership is not personally liable
  for any partnership obligation incurred before the person’s admission as a partner. (c) An obligation of a partnership incurred while the partnership is a limited liability
  partnership, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, is solely the obligation
  of the partnership. A partner is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by
  way of contribution or otherwise, for such an obligation solely by reason of being
  or so acting as a partner. This subsection applies notwithstanding anything inconsistent
  in the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the vote required to
  become a limited liability partnership under subsection 3291(b) of this title. (Added 1997, No. 149 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.)
