Wisconsin Code § 179.0404

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subs. (2) and (3), all general partners are liable
jointly and severally for all debts, obligations, and other liabilities
of the limited partnership unless otherwise agreed by the
claimant or provided by law.
(2) A person that becomes a general partner is not personally
liable for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the limited partnership incurred before the person became a general partner.
(3) (a) A debt, obligation, or other liability of a limited partnership incurred while the partnership is a limited liability limited partnership is solely the debt, obligation, or other liability of
the limited liability limited partnership. A general partner is not
personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or
otherwise, for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the limited
liability limited partnership solely by reason of being or acting as
a general partner.
(b) This subsection applies despite anything inconsistent in
the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the

vote or consent required to become a limited liability limited
partnership under s. 179.0406 (2) (b).
(c) This subsection applies regardless of the dissolution of the
partnership.
(4) The failure of a limited liability limited partnership to observe formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its activities and affairs is not a ground for imposing liability on a general partner for a debt, obligation, or other liability
of the partnership.
(5) An amendment of a certificate of limited partnership
which deletes a statement that the limited partnership is a limited
liability limited partnership does not affect the limitation in this
section on the liability of a general partner for a debt, obligation,
or other liability of the limited partnership incurred before the
amendment became effective.
