A Limited Partnership Must Be Represented by an Attorney


A Limited Partnership Must Be Represented by an Attorney

      Barring minor exceptions, an example being small claims court, neither a corporation nor an LLC may represent itself in court.
      In a case from earlier this year out of New Jersey, it was confirmed that the same rule is applicable to a limited partnership. In this case, the general partner, who alleged that the claims of limited partnership were assigned to himself, was still found to be unable to represent the limited partnership. Rather, it needed to be represented by legal counsel. Goldstein v. Roxborough Real Estate, LLC, Civ. Act. No: 15-CV-3835 (PGS) (DEA), 2018 WL 504398 (D.N.J. Jan. 22, 2018).
