Joint ventures
Content
If you are a business requiring advice on strategic alliances and joint venture projects, both in the UK or on a cross-border basis, we can help.
How we can advise you
Joint ventures can range from collaboration and cooperation arrangements and shareholder agreements to full-scale mergers of existing businesses or companies; we have considerable experience in dealing with the different options that may be available to you.
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 or joint venture corporate structures.

How our team will work with you
We work closely with all the parties and their tax advisors involved to understand their commercial aims. This enables us to help you select the most appropriate structure for a joint venture project which will meet these objectives. We provide a full team covering any input needed on corporate, commercial contracts and/or property or employment matters in connection with any proposed joint venture.
