A joint venture creates a new entity with shared ownership and defined governance, while a strategic alliance remains between separate entities. The choice depends on the desired level of integration and control, as well as tax and regulatory considerations. We help clients assess objectives, liabilities, and exit options to select the structure that best supports growth while protecting interests and ensuring compliance across markets and over time, aligning with strategic plans.
Common terms include ownership stake, capital contributions, profit sharing, governance rights, IP licenses, confidentiality, and exit mechanics. Clear definitions help avoid disputes and provide a roadmap for decision making and performance measurement. Negotiation proceeds best with well drafted schedules, dispute resolution methods, and defined milestones that keep collaborations focused on shared goals while preserving flexibility when markets change over time, for enduring partnerships.
Durations vary widely based on objectives, market conditions, and performance. Some partnerships span several years, while others exist for a single project. Flexibility to renew or terminate is a common feature. We help craft renewal terms, exit triggers, and transition plans to minimize disruption and preserve value when decisions are made across both parties and any affected operations over time.
Due diligence helps identify legal, financial, and operational risks before entering a collaboration. It informs terms, validates capabilities, and supports informed risk management. This upfront review reduces surprises and guides structure choices for enduring partnerships across markets and over time, aligning with strategic plans.
