Joint Ventures

We are specialists in joint ventures and strategic alliances.

Our Corporate Finance practice specialises in advising on joint ventures and strategic alliances. As a core part of our offering, we support investors and entrepreneurs, advising them on structuring, drafting and negotiating joint venture agreements.

Because we work collaboratively across all our practice groups, we also offer a broad range of supporting advice in areas such as intellectual property rights and exploitation, regulation and licensing, antitrust, commercial agreements, real estate, tax, employment and benefits. We have experience in advising on a wide range of joint venture structures and can advise on the commercial and strategic issues involved, as well as dealings with local regulators.

We have acted on a significant number of joint ventures for corporates, international investment houses and banks across the globe. Our clients entrust us with their highest profile work in this area and your Allen & Overy team will draw on this experience and know-how to deliver commercial and cost effective advice.
