Joint Venture Disputes

The most effective way to ensure that disagreements do not cause your joint venture to deteriorate is to have well drafted joint venture agreements in place at the commencement of your joint venture. If your joint venture agreement lacks clear direction on dispute resolution, Australian legislation such as the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and common law can aid in resolving your dispute. The Gold Coast litigation and dispute resolution team at Ramsden Lawyers can guide you in your joint venture dispute.

What is a ‘joint venture’?

A ‘Joint Venture’ is a business structure in which two or more businesses combine resources, knowledge and skills for a finite time, generally for a specified project. Joint venture agreements are commonly used in property development, mining, and other large scale projects.

Joint ventures are generally regulated by the establishing document which is usually a joint venture agreement. Additionally, joint ventures are regulated by common law and also legislation such as the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
