Joint ventures & strategic alliances

We have international experience of advising on the creation, operation and termination of joint venture agreements and strategic alliances.

As business models continue to move away from outright ownership towards joint ventures and strategic alliances, you need the support of a strong team. Our clients want to leverage products, technology and customers - we put a legal framework in place to help achieve these goals.

We assist you at every stage - from the inception of the joint venture through business planning, evaluation and implementation. We add value by combining our experience of structuring joint venture vehicles with relevant legal expertise in related fields. Drawing on our capability in the competition/antitrust, regulatory, tax and dispute resolution fields, we offer you an integrated service focused around your commercial needs.

You will benefit from our vast experience of complex cross-border deals and multi-jurisdictional projects. We provide you with an informed, international and comprehensive view of factors relating to choice of law issues and the alliance structure itself.

Our joint venture experience ranges from multi-billion US$ quoted companies with two or more strategic shareholders, to significant unquoted corporate ventures. We advise on strategic alliances, often among competitors, in corporate or other forms. We also advise on cross-selling agreements and patent licensing deals.

Our understanding of the complex legal challenges posed by joint ventures and strategic alliances ensures that you meet your business objectives quickly and effectively.
