Jersey ILP
An Incorporated Limited Partnership ILP is a partnership vehicle registered under the Incorporated Limited Partnership (Jersey) Law 2011,
As the name suggests, this type of partnership is incorporated. With incorporation come certain important considerations and obligations for both the general partner and the limited partners analogous with those applicable when considering the relationships between companies, directors and shareholders (for example, a general partner must ‘act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the ILP which mirrors a director’s statutory duty under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991).
