Joint Venture FAQ

The questions founders and businesses ask us most before structuring a joint venture.

A joint venture is a separate business entity created by two or more companies to pursue a shared strategic objective — combining technology, market access, capital or expertise. It makes sense when the synergies between parties are clear but a full merger or acquisition is not the right structure.

The package covers everything from an intro call to define your goals, through term sheet drafting and a joint venture agreement, to three hours of negotiation support and coordination of the incorporation of your new joint venture company with the notary and commercial register.

The drafting of legal documentation and discussion can typically be executed within 5 to 10 days of the definition of key terms — usually agreed during the introductory call. The overall timeline depends on the complexity of the deal and the speed of alignment between the parties.

We work on a tailored flat fee. After your free introductory call we scope the work and quote a fixed price before we start — so you can plan your budget without surprise hours.

No. We advise on joint ventures across Switzerland, Germany, the EU and the US. Our team spans all four jurisdictions, so cross-border structures are well within our scope.

In an M&A deal one party acquires control of another. In a joint venture, both parties remain independent and create a new, shared entity. Both require careful structuring, negotiation and documentation — and our team handles both.
