Joint Ventures & Commercial Cooperation

We have been assisting clients on all aspects of domestic and cross-border joint ventures in a variety of sectors, including energy, manufacturing, and large international tenders. We advise on JV projects by consolidating the input from the relevant experts, starting with structuring the most suitable form of the joint venture and assessing the complex matters of governance, competition law, taxation, and regulatory concerns, through to completion and ensuring a successful exit by all parties in the future.
