WHAT WE DO

Joint Ventures

The firm advises on the structuring, negotiation, and governance of joint ventures and strategic alliances across the GCC and beyond.

Our practice spans the full lifecycle: formation structuring (entity selection, shareholding arrangements, governance frameworks, and regulatory filings under ADGM, UAE, Saudi, and other GCC regimes); partner contribution and vesting schedules; operational governance (board composition, shareholder agreements, management delegation, and decision-making rights); profit distribution and exit mechanics.


Our work covers deal-specific structures ranging from sponsor-led SPVs to negotiated joint ventures, with advice spanning structuring, diligence, documentation, governance, tax and regulatory analysis, and exit planning.

We advise on the choice between contractual joint ventures (governed by partnership or consortium agreements) and corporate joint ventures. We handle entity formation, capitalisation structuring, and regulatory filings across ADGM and other GCC jurisdictions; draft and negotiate definitive agreements that allocate rights, obligations, management authority, and profit distribution.


Parties know the objective behind entering into a joint venture; unlock access to a new markets, share the costs and risks of R&D, pool their unique resources: know-how, funding, access.
