Increasingly, businesses are seeking to share resources, spread risks and gain access to complementary strengths through the medium of joint ventures.
Joint ventures take many forms, ranging from informal contractual arrangements to partnerships, limited partnerships to 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!
What people say about us
"The Muckle corporate team, led by Nicola Loose, were asked to deliver a complicated transaction that involved the exit of a mezzanine funder, senior bank club and shareholder, the entrance of a new bank group and joint venture partner as well as various other consents required from different stakeholders. They effectively managed the complex, and often conflicting, priorities of the different parties with great skill. The firm understands our business, relates to our team and delivered against a very challenging timetable. They have been an integral part of the team that has delivered a transaction that has transformed our business."
