About this Seminar
In today’s complex construction landscape, joint ventures are essential for tackling large-scale projects, sharing risks, and leveraging complementary expertise. However, these partnerships also bring unique legal challenges that can jeopardize success if not properly managed.
Join us for an insightful seminar that explores the legal intricacies of joint ventures in the construction industry, from structuring agreements to resolving disputes. Will Stroll and Peter Jang will examine common issues that arise between joint venture partners, while Joanna Seetoh will discuss key considerations that employers typically have when engaging joint venture contractors.
