Global Guide: Joint Ventures

Joint ventures pose their own challenges, especially when entering into new areas. 

Commercial issues are key, such as choosing the right partner and building safeguards around valuable assets. Often it will be necessary to consider multiple jurisdictions. Investors must also understand the legal environment and any particular challenges that it imposes.

Our updated Global Guide is designed to help businesses navigate the legal challenges of international joint ventures in 25 jurisdictions. Topics covered include the types of entities used for joint ventures, foreign investment restrictions, registration formalities and shareholder influence. The guide also includes an appendix on the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation and how it applies to joint ventures.

While no two joint venture deals are the same, we hope this is a useful guide to some of the main features of doing global deals. Please also feel free to get in touch with your own Linklaters contacts about any of the issues raised.
