Joint Ventures & Strategic Alliances<\/h1>

Building alliances designed to survive the years after the celebration ends.<\/h3>

A joint venture agreement signed in a moment of shared enthusiasm is rarely tested until years later \u2014 when growth slows, priorities diverge, or one partner wants out and the other doesn’t. MovLegal advises Indian and international businesses on structuring joint ventures and strategic alliances with this reality in mind, building governance and exit mechanisms that hold up long after the initial goodwill has faded.<\/p>

We act for both majority and minority partners, and we draft with both sides of the table in view \u2014 because an agreement that only protects one partner tends to create the very dispute it should have prevented.<\/p>

Why This Matters<\/h2>

Most JV disputes don’t stem from bad faith \u2014 they stem from ambiguity that nobody thought to resolve at signing. Who breaks a board deadlock? What happens if one partner stops funding its share? Can a partner sell its stake to a competitor? We push clients to answer these questions upfront, when they’re still hypothetical, rather than leaving them to be litigated when they’re not.<\/p>
