Joint Venture Disputes

Joint ventures are formed where two or more persons or companies come together to execute a particular business proposition or project.

A joint venture between two or more persons or company are normally documented in a Joint Venture Agreement which establishes the duties and obligations of each party to the agreement. Joint ventures have become increasingly important as a medium through which companies undertake significant business activities and projects.

However, situations can arise which cause joint venture disputes. Examples of joint venture disputes can include:

• Conflicts over each party’s share in the business as well as shares in the income and capital increase of the business.
• Ambiguity and uncertainty in respect of the level of participation each party is expected to contribute to the business.
• Disputes over how to grow the business (such as whether a new business should be acquired or whether expansion into another sector should take place).
