Program Description
Joint ventures in business are a way of leveraging the limited capital and individual strengths of the parties, manage downside risk, and achieve something that neither party could do alone - make the whole more than the sum of its parts. Though powerful, joint ventures are also difficult to structure and manage, and challenging for attorneys to draft. This program will provide you with a practical guide to the types of joint ventures - contractual v. entity, choice of entity considerations, contributions of differing type of financial, human and other capital, and economic and tax issues. The program will also discuss management and governance issues, valuation, dispute resolution and planning for the eventual dissolution of the JV.
