This question is interesting in order to determine what has to be included in the limited partnership agreement of a special limited partnership (SLP - or société en commandite spéciale, SCSp). Let’s see how we may avoid taking any risk in this respect.

An SLP may only be declared void:

  1. if the constitutive document does not contain any indication as to: 

    1. the denomination of the partnership; or

    2. its corporate purpose.

  2. if the corporate purpose is:

    1. unlawful; or

    2. contrary to public policy (ordre public);

  3. if the partnership does not include at a minimum - validly committed and distinct from each other ; 

    1. a general partner (associé commandité); and

    2. a limited partner (associé commanditaire).
