Solving Joint Venture Disputes
Exceptional Legal Expertise in Shareholder Agreements and Disputes
Joint ventures are a common and beneficial way for companies to work together.
In these collaborations, separate legal entities pool their resources, expertise, and efforts to create a joint business arrangement.
The joint venture’s success depends on cooperation and collaboration between the parties involved, usually guided by written agreements.
In a joint venture, a new legal entity is formed, which is separate from the companies that created it. This entity can be set up for a particular project or for a long-term business arrangement.
Joint ventures promise the advantages of sharing risks and rewards, allowing different parties to collaborate for mutual benefit. However, when interests diverge, financial constraints arise, or misunderstandings occur, disputes can risk the joint venture.
Disputes can arise over various issues, including financial matters, management conflicts, contract breaches, decision-making problems, or changes in circumstances.
To avoid problems, make sure you have a written agreement that clearly explains all the details of your joint project.

Types of Joint Venture Disputes
Joint venture disputes can emerge from various sources, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of this business structure. These disputes can include:
Financial disputes
These disputes happen when joint venture partners have different opinions on how to divide profits, losses, and expenses. These disputes reveal the intricate financial aspects that affect the success of the joint venture.
Intellectual property rights
Disagreements can arise from the joint venture's ownership and use of intellectual property. Therefore, it is crucial to address these issues in the initial agreement.
Governance and Control
Differences in decision-making, responsibilities, or leadership can cause disputes. Clear governance structures are important in joint ventures to define roles and responsibilities.
Breach of Contract
Breaking a contract can cause legal problems, so it's important to have strong rules to avoid conflicts. Our legal team creates detailed joint venture agreements to predict problems and keep your joint venture legally secure. We are committed to proactively addressing contract-related matters to protect your venture's interests and minimise the risk of disputes.
Deadlock Situations
When partners cannot reach a consensus on crucial decisions, progress within the joint venture can halt. This underscores the importance of effective conflict resolution mechanisms within joint ventures, as determined by common law.
