Joint ventures

Our corporate team has considerable experience of negotiating joint venture and shareholders’ arrangements as well as advising on all types of joint venture structures from collaboration or co-operation agreements to strategic alliances and joint venture companies - including those with an international dimension.

As a full service law firm, we can advise clients on all aspects of a joint venture or shareholder arrangements including structuring, minority shareholder protections, tax, regulatory, employment, immigration, pensions, IP/IT issues and any other commercial or legal issues which might arise in connection with the arrangements.

We work with specialist teams across the firm to offer practical, pragmatic advice to ensure that the legal documentation both accurately reflects the commercial agreement reached by the joint venture parties and contains the appropriate protections our clients require.

The team understands the importance of mutual trust, support and clarity of understanding between the joint venture parties and we seek to maintain these aspects of the relationship between the parties while discharging our role.
