Joint Ventures & Strategic Alliances

We represent U.S. and non-U.S. businesses seeking to collaborate or partner with other enterprises (which also may be U.S. or non-U.S.-based) without formally combining their businesses, as is the case in a merger or acquisition.  Although the terms overlap, Joint Ventures usually imply a formal collaboration between two or more enterprises through a newly-formed business entity or contract, while Strategic Alliances usually involve two or more parties working independently to achieve a specific goal of mutual interest.  Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances can be structured in creative and flexible ways to provide the solution that best fits the parties’ needs.
