Joint ventures and partnerships
Joint ventures enable parties to maximise the potential value of an asset, idea or business by bringing together different expertise and skills, while also allowing for diversification and the sharing of risk.
We have years of experience in advising on multiparty relationships and agreements, using a variety of corporate structures, including companies, limited liability partnerships and limited partnerships, often involving parties in multiple jurisdictions.
We are able to support clients during the lifetime of these arrangements. This can include structuring, tax, partnership and membership agreements, sales and acquisitions, negotiating exits from joint venture arrangements, dealing with non-performance by a partner, or assisting generally with disputes. We are also used to working with overseas advisors to implement offshore structures for investment or other purposes and have excellent relationships with those advisors.
Our team provides clients with legal, commercial and strategic advice to ensure that their interests are protected when entering into such arrangements. We are well-versed in the issues that can arise in these areas, whether acting for a majority shareholder or minority investor.
