Ohio Code § 1776.36

§ 1776.36.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (B) and (C) of this section, all partners

are liable jointly and severally for all obligations of the partnership unless otherwise

agreed by the claimant or provided by law. (B) A person admitted as a partner into an existing partnership is not personally liable

for any partnership obligation incurred before the person's admission as a partner. (C) An obligation of a partnership incurred while the partnership is a limited liability

partnership, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, is solely the obligation

of the partnership.  A partner is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution

or otherwise, for such an obligation solely by reason of being or acting as a partner.  This division applies notwithstanding anything inconsistent in the partnership agreement

that existed before any vote required to become a limited liability partnership under division (B) of section 1776.81 of the Revised Code .
