§ 33-41-370 — Nature of partners' liability.

(A) Except as provided by subsection (B), all partners are liable jointly and severally for everything chargeable to the partnership. (B) Subject to subsections (C) and (D), a partner in a registered limited liability partnership is not liable directly or indirectly, including by way of indemnification, contribution, or otherwise, for debts, obligations, and liabilities chargeable to the partnership arising from negligence, wrongful acts, or misconduct committed while the partnership is a registered limited liability partnership and in the course of the partnership business by another partner or an employee, agent, or representative of the partnership. (C) Subsection (B) shall not affect the liability of a partner in a registered limited liability partnership for his own negligence, wrongful acts, or misconduct, or that of a person under his direct supervision and control. (D) Each individual who renders professional services on behalf of a registered limited liability partnership is liable for a negligent or wrongful act or omission in which he personally participates to the same extent as if he rendered the services as a sole practitioner. A partner of a registered limited liability partnership which renders professional services, as defined in Section 33-19-103(7), is not liable for the negligence, wrongful acts, misconduct, or omissions of other partners, agents, or employees of the registered limited liability partnership unless he is at fault in appointing, supervising, or cooperating with them.
