Yes, as partners in a venture, you are both jointly and severally liable for any legal issues the company faces. This means each of you can be held fully responsible for the company’s debts and liabilities, even if the other partner is primarily responsible.

HR knows I was at another company for a couple of months before that, but they said I didn’t need to submit any documents from that short stint.
