A joint venture is where two or more existing businesses agree to co-operate and combine their resources with a view to profit.
Our experienced commercial team of lawyers can assist with joint venture and shareholders’ agreements for existing companies or start-ups. Examples of our joint venture work ranges from shareholders’ agreements for jointly-owned start-up businesses, to cross border joint ventures involving our UK clients’ dealings with companies in the Netherlands, Spain, Singapore and elsewhere.
Sadly, clients often do not contact us until after their shareholder relationship has broken down. Disputes can be acrimonious and costly, despite our best efforts to settle them. Much of the acrimony and cost could be avoided by a properly drafted shareholders’ agreement.
