The term "joint venture" usually describes a commercial arrangement between two or more separate businesses. A joint venture can be set up as a limited liability company, a limited liability partnership, a partnership (or limited partnership) or a purely contractual co-operation agreement.
The purpose of the joint venture agreement is to establish the basic rights and obligations of the parties in relation to the joint venture, to ensure that the company and its business is established and run in accordance with the participants' objectives and to prescribe, as far as practicable, what happens if difficulties occur.
Because of the different nature of individual joint ventures, the participants and the business concerned, the detailed provisions of the joint venture agreement vary considerably from case to case.
Our corporate solicitors are able to advise on both contractual joint ventures, which just involve an agreement to cooperate (as opposed to a separate business being formed) as well as more formal incorporated joint ventures where a separate business is set up.
Joint venture agreements typically include details on: the structure of the joint venture, the objectives, the financial contributions you will each make, ownership of intellectual property created by the joint venture, management and control, the sharing of liabilities, profits and losses, the handling of disputes and an exit strategy. However, our agreements can also include items that are unique to your circumstances for example details on competition rules, royalties etc.
