Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

Contract question for small business venture

I am a small business owner, who will be incorporating (most likely) as an LLC in Virginia as soon as possible. I work for myself, however, I am one of 4 partners in a nationwide recruiting company. We share the same company name and have a loose joint venture among ourselves, however since all 4 partners live in different states, we all incorporate ourselves differently, depending on our unique situations and locations. All 4 partners share the same contracts with clients though we each do our own individual work and earn our own keep.

When signing a recruitment agreement with a potential client, how do I sign for the company without including my personal name as I am trying to protect personal assets in the event there is a future conflict/lawsuit. Do I sign--name removed-- for XXX recruiting or perhaps,

XXX recruiting of Virginia, LLC (my own business entity and eliminate my name altogether)?

Or, XXX recruiting by--name removed--, partner?

Again, all partners may utilize the client at one time so, once there is an agreement on file, it applies company-wide. However, we are each doing our own individual business with each client.

Thanks for your help.
