Jersey SLP

A separate limited partnership (SLP) is a partnership vehicle registered under the Separate Limited Partnerships (Jersey) Law 2011. In short, an SLP is an LP with the ability to contract in its own name and sue and be sued in its own name and since it is expressly not to be regarded as a body corporate it is not subject to the rules and obligations applicable to companies.
