Joint Venture Contracting can provide contractors with business opportunities for which a single entity may not qualify such as federal set-aside programs or certain challenging projects which need additional resources; joint ventures can also be useful for sharing risks among participants or employing specific project delivery methods.  If you are considering entering into a joint venture agreement with another contractor, you need the knowledge and experience of the Cobb Law Group to help you balance your business and contracting goals in such areas as risk allocation, operational and internal management issues, as well as the default provisions and remedies.

When two or more parties come together to jointly build a project, their attorney needs to act a strategic partner for the firms coming together.  The Cobb Law Group serves in this capacity as we listen to the participants to create the documentation to promote a successful project.

Joint ventures and teaming agreements have many advantages for the contractors as well as for the project owners and developers.  When two or more contractors team up on a project, they bring their unique skills and knowledge to the project; they also bring their unique company culture and practices.  A proper agreement helps to mitigate the differences in the ways the participant’s handle their business and strengthen the combination of skill-sets and management expertise.  Thus, a joint venture may result in the formal creation of a new business entity or it may be structured more like a partnership.  Either way, it is necessary that the parties agree in advance about funding and payment issues, project accounting, employee management, subcontractor management, and–perhaps most importantly–their rights and remedies in the event of a dispute between the participants.
