Effective collaboration and partnering can help you develop new offerings, access new markets or present comprehensive service solutions to your customers. 

This could provide a one-off solution in response to a customer need, or a long-term strategic joint venture for ongoing sales opportunities.

It’s essential to get the legal framework right: be clear about what each party is bringing to the relationship; identify roles and responsibilities; work out who owns or has the right to use the outcome of your collaborative endeavours.

We’ll guide you through:

• identifying the correct structure – joint venture, partnership, commercial collaboration
• protecting intellectual rights and ownership of outputs
• managing and controlling operations
• investment and finance
• staffing and people management
• exit management
• deadlock issues and resolution
• dispute resolution
