Strong collaborative skills are the key to making joint ventures succeed.
Irrespective of what industry you’re in, and whether you’re an investor, a bank or a business looking into an exciting new opportunity, excellent communication and cooperation are required to make a deal come together. That goes for your legal support too. Our Joint Ventures legal team offers seamless, integrated legal and commercial advice, wherever you are in the world.
We know that these kinds of projects are increasingly cross-border, operating across a range of jurisdictions, which is why you’ll benefit from working with a truly global law firm. With strong local knowledge of regulations, legislation and market practices, we can structure transactions and tax internationally for you, to ensure you really make the most of your new project.
Our lawyers have a deep breadth of experience of joint ventures across a wide range of industries, and we know that a detailed understanding of your business sector is vital. We’ll guide you through what is often a stringent regulatory environment, and where necessary, call on our colleagues with specific knowledge of areas like tax, IP, export controls and FDI.
Joint ventures also need attention and maintenance once the ink has dried. That’s why our approach is designed to help you think about what success looks like beyond the scope of the deal in question - long-term thinking and risk management is as important to the health of your business as the small print of the deal. We like to cultivate ongoing relationships and aim to make your joint venture the start of a successful journey together.
Our team handles all aspects of joint venture projects and has longstanding relationships advising management teams, corporates and individual vendors and providers on joint venture transactions. Our experience and client base allows us to bring direct, hands-on, experience to your transactions.
