In our recent publication defining the special limited partnership (SLP - or société en commandite spéciale, SCSp), we referred to the fact that the SLP is a contractual partnership between two types of partners: the limited partner (associé commanditaire) on the one hand and the general partner (associé commandité) on the other.

In keeping with its contractual nature, the SLP may, unless otherwise provided for in the partnership agreement, have a general partner who is also a limited partner. This is only possible if the SLP has at least one limited partner and one general partner who are legally separate from each other.

We will also see that every SLP must keep a register and that, within the limits of the partnership agreement, any partner may consult it.
