Joint ventures

You need to consider many things about a proposed partner in a joint venture.  Such as:

• What do you really know about them?
• How much money are you each putting in?
• What are you expecting each party to do?
• Are you sharing secret information or licensing rights?

Complexity of joint ventures

We are used to advising on complex structuring and will work with you to analyse what you expect from the joint venture and what happens when the joint venture is terminated.

We are experienced in analysing what parties want to achieve and:

• drafting, reviewing and negotiating contractual joint ventures;
• setting up special purpose vehicles;
• drafting shareholder agreements (dealing particularly with the management of the business and exit routes);
• transferring businesses or assets into a joint venture;
• licensing rights such as the use of logos and trade marks or other intellectual property.

Why choose Furley Page to discuss joint ventures

Joint ventures are an incredibly complex legal area and all too often clients proceed without proper documents and get stung by a costly dispute later down the line.  Don’t be one of them – we can scope out what you need and agree a capped fee if it’s of assistance.
