Joint Ventures
We have extensive experience of advising in relation to all types of joint ventures including joint venture companies, collaboration/co-operation agreements, strategic alliances and limited or unlimited partnerships. As a full-service international firm, we advise across a wide range of industry sectors and many of the projects on which we work involve parties from different jurisdictions.
We advise on all aspects of joint ventures including structure, minority protections, funding, tax, regulatory issues, employment and pensions, intellectual property and any other commercial or legal issues which may arise in the particular circumstances concerned.
Our wide experience of advising parties in the negotiation of joint venture arrangements means that we can give pragmatic advice and input designed to ensure not only that the legal documentation protects our client and accurately sets out the parties' intentions, but also that the underlying terms and structure of the joint venture promote the commercial objectives of all relevant parties. We understand that contractual arrangements must support and reinforce underlying commercial synergies. Further, the negotiation of successful joint ventures must take place in an environment of mutual trust, respect and co-operation. We always seek during the legal process to promote the conditions which are likely to lead to the long-term success of the project.
