We provide comprehensive legal advice in connection with both domestic and international Joint Venture (JV) arrangements in a variety of industries. We pride ourselves on our deep understanding of business and expert knowledge in advising on JV arrangements across many diverse fields of law, including permissions and regulations and licensing intellectual property, necessary for forming or managing a JV. When advising our clients we (i) analyze the best suited structure for the client, (ii) offer proposals that meet the client’s intentions and best interests over a broad range of issues relating to JVs, including management and governance, and (iii) provide strategic advice with a view to possible termination of the JV.
