Business Collaboration Agreements and Contractual Joint Ventures

An effective commercial contract should work both during ordinary performance and when disagreement arises. A contractual joint venture permits companies to cooperate on a project without necessarily creating a separate legal entity.

What to keep in mind

Set out each contribution, management of the project, costs, ownership of results, risk-sharing, tax coordination and dispute resolution.

Undefined governance can make even a commercially promising collaboration unworkable.

Distinctions often confused

Contractual cooperation and establishing a jointly owned company have different legal consequences.
