Is limited partnership and limited liability partnership the same thing?

No, a limited partnership (LP) and a limited liability partnership (LLP) are not the same. In an LP, there are general partners who manage the business and have unlimited liability, while limited partners have limited liability but typically do not participate in management. In contrast, an LLP allows all partners to have limited liability, protecting them from personal liability for the partnership's debts and obligations, and typically all partners can participate in management. Thus, the key differences lie in liability and management roles.
