Our experienced commercial team can help you to set up all kinds of structures for working with others, from informal partnerships to full joint ventures. 

Every time you decide to work with another organisation you have to choose how best to make that relationship work. Whether you are setting up a loose collaboration or a formal joint venture it is imperative that you review the options, bear in mind the legal rules, and find the right way for you. Our specialist team can guide you through every step of the process.

Our joint-venture services

One of the first, and most important, decisions you will make is the structure that best suits your particular needs. Each type of business structure involves different legal requirements, and it is important that you understand the difference between these to enable you to choose the best one for you. We have advised on:

  • Informal collaborations, including memorandum of understanding.
  • Contractual joint ventures.
  • New joint venture companies or partnerships.
  • Full mergers or acquisitions.

At Anthony Collins Solicitors we will advise you on how best to work together with other organisations, and how to manage issues that might arise, such as: 

  • Management of the venture.
  • Finance and resourcing, including staff and premises.
  • Shares of any profits or losses.
  • Intellectual property.
  • Confidentiality.
  • Tax consequences.
  • Dispute resolution.
  • Possible exit routes.

Our specialist solicitors regularly advise on:

  • All types of corporate and partnership joint-venture structures.
  • Articles of Association.
  • Contractual or co-operation agreements.
  • Due diligence.
  • Funding.
  • Minority protection.
  • Shared services.
  • Shareholders’ agreements.

Our advice is practical, clear and we will work with you to guide you through every step of the legal process. Our experienced teams have extensive sector knowledge and experience to help you through periods of uncertainty, change and difficulty.
