Joint ventures

Specialists at working with a diverse range of businesses and sectors, we are experienced in working with a wide variety of corporate vehicles from limited companies to limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships.

Whether your goal is to work with a new partner to expand your business, launch a new product line, acquire a real estate asset or enter new markets, we have a team of experienced corporate lawyers who can provide practical, commercially focused legal advice. We start by finding out about your business and objectives and keep these at the front of our minds throughout the process. We understand the issues and complexities involved in joint ventures and draft bespoke agreements with clear obligations to help you achieve your goals.

Much of our JV work is international and our cross border expertise, overseas offices and membership of a leading international network of law firms allow us to advise on your joint venture regardless of the jurisdiction of the parties.

As well as advising on business and commercial joint ventures, we frequently advise on real estate joint ventures and have particular experience in the student accommodation, build to rent, hotel, restaurant, leisure and care home sectors.

Advising clients on the best joint venture structure and helping them to be tax-efficient and effective is a key part of our mission. As well as helping to bring parties together, we also frequently advise on the best and most efficient ways to safely end a joint venture.

From a £100 million joint venture to build central London student accommodation, to the joint venture formed to undertake the redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station site – our work in joint ventures is often large-scale and high profile.
