In Connecticut you would be right if the suit were for contract breach. If the suit were for a tort... the corporate officers and directors are personally liable as well as the corporation for the torts they commit whether in their personal capacity or in their representative corporate capacity.

Connecticut judgments against a corporation or LLC are limited to the assets of the corporation or the LLC. Judgments against the corporate directors/officers can be satisfied from their personal assets.

In Connecticut we also have a statutory tenancy by partnership which treats partnership property in the same manner as corporate property. Judgments against the partner for problems unrelated to the partnership may be satisfied from his personal assets only including his income from the partnership, but not from the partnership property help in the partnership's name.

If the suit is against the partnership... it is an easy matter of satisfying the judgment from both the partnership's and the partners' assets. The assets of the partnership would be used first to satisfy the judgment, and the partners' personal assets would be used to supplement the unpaid portion of the judgment.
