We guide clients through every stage of forming, negotiating and managing joint venture relationships. Our approach is practical, commercially minded and grounded in a deep understanding of B.C.’s real estate development landscape.

​

We advise on a full range of joint venture and project structuring matters, including:

​

• Ownership structuring, including the formation of corporations, limited partnerships, general partnerships and co‑ownership arrangements

• Joint venture agreements, such as limited partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, co‑ownership agreements and hybrid arrangements tailored to the project

• Financial structuring and project acquisition

• Development, construction, operating and property management agreements

• Dissolution and windup, including the termination of partnerships, distribution of assets and resolution of outstanding obligations

​

Joint ventures require more than off‑the‑shelf agreements. Done right, they demand careful consideration of the commercial, operational and regulatory realities that shape a project’s success.
