Insolvency in English limited partnerships: considerations for fund finance lenders
© Copyright LexisNexis 2026. All rights reserved.
This article examines certain insolvency implications for English limited partnership structures, a common vehicle in the private capital market, with a focus on what this means for fund finance agreements. The article considers three scenarios: (i) insolvency of the sole corporate general partner; (ii) insolvency of a corporate limited partner; and (iii) the English limited partnership (ELP) itself becoming insolvent.
Whilst ELP structures and related financings vary significantly, and the drivers of distress in each case would likely be unique – noting that these structures are often “insolvency remote” by design – these considerations should provide a core foundation for analysing stress should it arise.
