A fair agreement for both parties |
With our extensive experience creating joint venture agreements across a range of sectors, we’ll always include the necessary provisions for each party’s aims to be met, helping you to achieve the common goal intended. We will objectively observe the contribution made by each party to ensure the agreement is fair and that all expectations are met.
Protect your interests and avoid litigation |
With an expertly produced joint venture agreement in place by our seasoned solicitors your remove the risk of any uncertainties arising or chances that you and the other party have misinterpreted prior conversations to the agreement being drawn up. With all obligations and liabilities professionally laid out, you protect your venture, your own personal interests and significantly reduce the risk of a dispute arising.
Ensure compliance as your business evolves |
Joint venture agreements can prove to be complex documents, potentially extending beyond the venture itself and into much finer details around compliance issues. It may need to cover off licence requirements, possible consultations with employees under TUPE, obtaining consent where data sharing is required, tax issues, and competition law to name a few. Our expert team will cover all the bases, ensuring that you remain compliant with all regulatory matters so you can concentrate on your growing business.
Protect valuable IP assets |
Where the development or use of intellectual property is integral to your joint venture, we’ll set out clear terms of ownership as part of the agreement. And if new IP assets are created as part of the collaboration then we’ll ensure that this is covered too, outlining terms of use at the beginning of the relationship, helping you avoid disputes at a later date.
Ensure a smooth exit |
Although you may be at the beginning stages of your joint venture, we’ll always include exit terms as part of your agreement, so that once the venture has run its course, each party can end the relationship with a clearly established route to exit, including ownership of technology, and details of rights to shares.
