A joint venture agreement is made between two parties where the duties and obligations of both parties are detailed. With a joint venture agreement, complications that may arise in a dispute are minimised. However it is important to pay attention to its drafting to ensure maximum benefits and protection from it. A joint venture agreement is considered halfway successful if you select the right, qualified partner. In fact, it is even better if you have a research and development team that works at finding the right partner, which can take the form of a company, an organisation or even an entity. Discuss Terms and Conditions After conducting the necessary research and choosing the right partner, both parties should discuss their individual duties and responsibilities of the venture. This is to reach longer business visions and goals and in the process, set limitations for the parties.Once this is completed, a Memorandum of Understanding or Letter of Intent is signed between the parties. The MOU details all possible outcomes of the joint venture such as complications and increased client base are highlighted. However before actually signing the MOU, it is necessary to read all terms and conditions related to the joint venture. The terms and conditions need to be discussed thoroughly by both parties to prevent future misunderstandings arising. Both parties should be well aware of all risks and benefits that may arise through the joint venture agreement. All cultural, economic and legal matters should be taken into consideration prior to signing the joint venture agreement. Transference of shares Other important factors to be included within the joint venture agreement include the holding and transfer of shares between the parties and the level of percentage of of technologies and resources the parties have access to.Tax implications of the joint venture, security matters pertaining to the joint venture, the extent of confidentiality of the company, the change of control of each enterprise and the termination of all terms and conditions of the joint venture agreement should be included within the joint venture agreement. Once all of the above has been included within the joint venture agreement, the Letter of Intent is signed after consulting solicitors.
