JOINT VENTURES & BUSINESS OWNERSHIP AGREEMENTS

HELP FOR ALL STAGES OF YOUR BUSINESS

• Flexible, bespoke advice for shareholder, partnership and joint venture agreements

  The objective when implementing any shareholders’ agreement, partnership agreement or joint venture agreement should be to leave it in a bottom drawer and only look at it when there is a step-change in the business, or as part of a regular review.

  The rest of the time can be spent focusing on running and growing your business. We help you to achieve this objective by highlighting the issues that you may not have thought about, then we guide all of you through the process of finding a solution that satisfies everyone and allows you to work together towards a common goal.

• Changing organisational structures

  Perhaps you’re a sole trader wanting to introduce shareholders to form a limited company. Maybe your firm is ready to take the step to become a limited liability partnership (LLP) or you’re looking to join forces with another business or individual in the form of a joint venture. You could even be a charity or franchise looking to get the most out of your organisational structure.

• A strategic view

  We take a strategic, careful and holistic view, flagging up potential commercial and legal implications of any business ownership structure, and making sure you’re aware of your administrative responsibilities and how these should be documented. We can help you with joint venture agreements, shareholders’ agreements, partnership agreements and LLP agreements, giving you an agreed framework that should minimise the impact of any relationships going awry in future.
