HRS §425E-1005
Who gets money from a partner's lawsuit
This section says that money won in a lawsuit brought on behalf of a limited partnership belongs to the partnership, not the person who filed the suit. If that person gets any money, they must give it to the partnership right away. A court can also order the partnership to pay the person's reasonable legal costs if the suit succeeds.

(b) If a derivative action is successful in whole or in part, the court may award the derivative plaintiff reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, from the recovery of the limited partnership.
