Corporate and Joint Ventures

We advise sponsors and investors on corporate transactions and joint ventures that require a clear understanding of the business terms and relationship dynamics and expectations between the parties over time.

Our practice includes entity formation and structuring, mergers and acquisitions, equity investments, and the negotiation of operating, shareholder, and joint venture agreements. We regularly work on transactions involving multiple stakeholders, negotiated control rights, complex economics and waterfalls, and long-term partnership considerations.

Joint ventures demand more than standard documentation - they require a deep understanding of the real world operations of a venture over its lifecycle, the practical risks that could occur and a focus on aligning incentives in a way that makes sense for the parties in the long term. Our goal is to create structures that function effectively not only at closing, but throughout the life of the relationship.

Clients rely on our combination of technical precision, practical judgment and commercial awareness to achieve smart outcomes. We work collaboratively to move transactions forward efficiently while protecting long-term value and preserving the relationships that underpin successful ventures.
