Joint Venture Agreements - the basics - Webinar

At some point most businesses will seek to partner with others in their market, in order to achieve a goal (or project) that otherwise they could not manage alone. This is known as a joint venture (or JV) and it can be attractive from the point of view of pooling resources, reducing costs, sharing expertise, and entering new markets. 

However, a JV requires careful consideration so that each party understands fully what it is getting into. If you are starting to get involved with JVs, this webinar is for you. The webinar will help equip participants to provide more commercially aware advice to clients who are in the process of setting up a JV (or even simply considering whether or not to do so). By undertaking this training participants will:

• understand the key reasons that companies form JVs
• develop knowledge of the pros and cons of JVs
• develop knowledge as to how JVs are normally established
• understand the key requirements of the Companies Act 2006
• develop knowledge of the key aspects of competition law (and when a JV might be regarded as a merger)
• develop knowledge about the ancillary agreements that need to be considered (e.g. IP, employment contracts etc.)
• understand the various exit strategies that are open to JV partners
