Description

Joint venture transactions and partnerships have long been a feature of the commercial and business landscape, and have been increasingly prominent in recent years. As a means of sharing risk, expertise and capital, joint ventures can be central to corporate strategy. However, they also give rise to a number of challenges and tensions at various points during their lifetime, sometimes resulting in litigation and loss of value. The panel will discuss how lawyers can help address these challenges up front to avoid tensions later on, reflecting latest innovations and market practice across the globe.
