*'''No [[legal personality]]''': Unlike a corporation, a partnership has no separate legal entity distinct from the collected personality of the individual partners, so to enter a contract with a partnership, or to sue one, is to sue its collected partners. If this were a corporation, that would be the equivalent of suing each of the shareholders of the corporation.
