Joint ventures

Hill Dickinson’s corporate team has extensive experience of advising on strategic alliances and joint venture projects, both in the UK and cross-border. These joint ventures range from collaboration and cooperation arrangements and shareholder agreements to full-scale mergers of existing businesses or companies.

As the use of limited partnerships has grown, we have increasingly advised parties on structuring their arrangements in this way, as well as via more traditional partnership structures.

Our experience in structuring joint venture projects, linked to our strong sector expertise - in particular in media, healthcare, the public sector and utilities – helps our clients to develop their businesses in these areas.

We work closely with all the parties involved to understand their commercial aims. This enables us to select the most appropriate structure and exit strategy for a joint venture project which will meet these objectives.
