Purpose of Checklist

The purpose of this Checklist is to illustrate the sorts of considerations which need to be borne in mind, and on which instructions will need to be sought, when drafting a joint venture agreement (also known as a shareholders’ agreement) and articles of association for a joint venture company (JVC). It is for guidance only and is not exhaustive. This Checklist is prepared with the requirements of English law in mind and, although similar considerations are applicable in the case of an international joint venture agreement, it is important to recognise the limitations of this Checklist in the context of a foreign joint venture (JV) vehicle.

For a Checklist on the preliminary considerations which need to be borne in mind, and on which instructions will need to be sought, when considering entry into a JV arrangement where the JV vehicle is to be a private company limited by shares, see Checklist: Corporate joint venture preliminary issues—checklist.

See Precedents: Joint venture shareholders’ agreement—deadlock (50:50) and Joint venture shareholders’ agreement—majority/minority for Precedent joint venture agreements and Precedents: Articles
