Joint ventures

Joint ventures are a common route for parties to collaborate on a project or business. We understand that every joint venture involves bespoke terms and solutions, along with careful planning, from the outset.

We help large corporate and public sector clients, business owners and investors to plan, form and deliver the right joint venture structure, either advising a joint venture entity or one of the parties themselves.

Our team helps create a structure that meets the operational, legal, funding and tax requirements of the parties. We provide advice to ensure our client can meet their commercial objectives during the formation, performance and planned exit of the joint venture.

Experts from across our corporate, banking, tax and commercial teams work together to advise on joint venture structures including:

• collaboration agreements
• joint venture companies
• limited liability partnerships, and
• off-shore vehicles.
