STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

We help businesses of all sizes across a range of sectors set up strategic partnerships and joint ventures, allowing our clients to enter or expand into new markets, develop new products or reinforce relationships between suppliers and customers.

We are experienced advisers on transactions involving both local and international alliances, together with the associated legal issues each brings with it. We support clients on every aspect of their partnerships and joint ventures, from conception through execution to management, including structuring, contractual architecture, competition issues, employment matters and intellectual property.

Strategic. Secure. Seamless.

Our Expertise

We provide a full spectrum of legal services tailored to help businesses form, manage, and exit strategic collaborations with confidence—whether local or cross-border, equity-based or contractual. Our approach is solution-oriented, commercially minded, and grounded in a deep understanding of international and local legal frameworks.

Joint Venture Agreements

We help clients structure and draft joint venture agreements that reflect their commercial goals. From capital contributions and ownership structure to governance and profit-sharing, we ensure every aspect is clear, enforceable, and aligned with long-term strategy.

Strategic Alliances & Collaborations

Our legal team develops comprehensive contracts for non-equity strategic alliances such as R&D partnerships, marketing collaborations, licensing agreements, joint bids, and shared IP arrangements—providing a strong legal backbone for innovation and growth.

Cross-Border Partnership Advisory

For multinational ventures, we provide practical legal guidance on jurisdiction-specific regulations, foreign direct investment restrictions, tax optimization, and compliance with local corporate and labor laws. We work closely with local counsel in key jurisdictions for seamless execution.

Governance & Operational Frameworks

We design governance structures that foster accountability, streamline decision-making, and minimize risk. This includes drafting shareholder agreements, board charters, management protocols, and conflict-resolution mechanisms tailored to your organization.

Exit & Termination Planning

We draft clear exit clauses, buy-sell arrangements, put and call options, and termination triggers to minimize uncertainty and protect stakeholders in the event of strategic realignment, disputes, or M&A activity.

Commercial Contract Drafting & Negotiation

Beyond partnerships, we support clients with commercial contracts including service agreements, franchise agreements, technology transfer, NDAs, MoUs, and master service agreements. Our drafting ensures your legal documents are comprehensive, enforceable, and reflective of your interests.

Regulatory & Compliance Advisory

We assist clients in ensuring that their strategic arrangements meet the regulatory requirements of relevant authorities, including competition law, sector-specific licensing, anti-corruption compliance, and data privacy frameworks.

IP Structuring & Licensing

We help protect and commercialize your intellectual property in collaborative environments. Services include IP ownership clauses, joint IP development agreements, cross-licensing, and brand usage rights in marketing partnerships.

Dispute Prevention & Resolution

From early-stage risk identification to post-dispute litigation support, we offer mediation, arbitration, and litigation services. Our goal is to resolve conflicts efficiently and preserve the value of the underlying partnership wherever possible.
