At Kegler Brown, our attorneys have vast experience in structuring and advising our U.S. and global clients on joint ventures and strategic alliances across multiple industries—ranging from relatively small operations to quarter-billion-dollar ventures.
These structures include commercialization arrangements, co-promotion arrangements, distribution agreements, R+D partnerships, technology and IP licensing, royalty arrangements, and other collaborative ventures.
Our attorneys understand not only the legal and tax environment of local jurisdictions, but foreign jurisdictions around the world. In addition, our attorneys are sensitive to the operational issues that arise in any sort of a joint venture or strategic alliance, including financial considerations, governance, information sharing, development and ownership, restrictive covenants, contingency planning, and termination.
