Joint Ventures

Increasingly, businesses are seeking to share resources, spread risks and gain access to complimentary strengths through the medium of joint ventures. Joint ventures take many forms, ranging from informal contractual arrangements to partnerships, limited partnerships or LLPs, from companies to complex syndicate agreements and beyond into more sophisticated structures and entities, perhaps with an international element.

If you’re thinking about entering into such an arrangement, we have the knowledge and skills you need to protect your interests and get the most out of the experience.   

Here’s how we can help

We will advise you all the way through, acting as a commercial sounding board as well as providing strong legal advice. We'll help you to prioritise your aims and rationalise your concerns through the whole process.

We can advise you on any due diligence you may require on a joint venture partner, any protection you may need and will help you structure your arrangement, the funding of it and your exit strategy.

We'll make sure you don't lose sight of your key drivers through what can become (if not managed properly) a distracting legal process.

Commerciality and project management are key in this area and we’ve got both in spades!
