Joint Venture & Shareholder Arrangements
Advising on and negotiating terms entered into by several members of different companies or several members of the same company is something that we do on a daily basis.
The setting up of a joint venture involves consideration of:
- letters of intent / heads of terms / teaming agreements
- corporate LLP or LP structures
- tax treatment
- protections customarily used on multi-party structures
- exit rights (put, call, buy-out, etc) most suitable to reflect commercial requirements
Together with our Corporate Finance team we have a strong reputation representing shareholders (and the company) in respect of:
- shareholders' agreements
- articles of association
- associated service agreements.
