Advising on joint ventures in the UK and internationally

Rix & Kay’s corporate lawyers advise businesses on a wide range of joint ventures, both in the UK and internationally.

At the heart of our offering is our ability to draw on dedicated legal support from within Rix & Kay that is often critical to delivering successful joint venture initiatives, including support from our employment and dispute resolution colleagues.

Our joint venture lawyers work with clients helping them to develop the best possible joint venture agreements that support immediate business operations or long term strategic objectives. These can range from establishing a brand new company or a formal strategic alliance, to something as simple as a contractual agreement to deliver a stand alone project.

Increasingly, our joint venture lawyers in Sussex and Kent are supporting clients who want to grow quickly across international borders. To support this we are able to draw on our own international connections and alliances with trusted law firms across Europe.

We support clients throughout the joint venture process. From advising on the most appropriate business structure, to managing legal issues as they arise operationally through to exit or termination.

Looking ahead at the outset and having an eye for detail are at the heart of what we do. Our focus is on developing a deep understanding of each client’s business, the sector they operate in and mutual business objectives. This allows us to quickly establish a foundation to deliver the best outcome for each party.

“Providing an invaluable service, the team is regarded for its specialist commercial advice as well as its deal making capacity. Kathryn Paisley, helms the practice, regularly advising clients on transactional issues and working closely with the Eurojuris network of international lawyers. Alan Zeal is also regarded for his experience in high value deals, as well as corporate restructuring, incentive arrangements, and director/employee equity agreements”.

“Kathryn Paisley is exceptional – she is expert, experienced and builds trusted relationships quickly which then leads to much more productive and quicker resolution of issues or establishing a point of view. I have worked on a number of deals with Kathryn, and she is simply superb”.

“Throughout the entire process of the sale of our company, Kathryn Paisley and Daniel Halls provided a wealth of knowledge. Both were always accessible and patient which helped to keep our stress levels down. With their expertise and guidance, the successful sale of our company was guaranteed”.

“The team at Rix & Kay are extremely personable. They genuinely care about our business and best interests. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are always happy to take the time to explain complex legal jargon and ensure we fully understand the detail. Compared to other firms we have engaged with, Rix & Kay value our business, not matter how large or small”.
