Course Overview

One of the most popular strategies for entering international markets is through joint ventures or sttegic alliances – where the risks, costs, management, and success of the venture are sharraed by the partners. For international joint ventures and alliances, the entities are subject to many regulations and legal requirements which must be fully understood by the parties involved. Added to this are complex business and financial considerations which must be satisfied – often within the framework of a foreign culture and foreign practices. Cultural and social differences also play a large role in the success or failure of such ventures. This course focuses on the key legal, commercial and financial aspects of setting up international joint ventures and alliances. The Course Director will explain how to avoid problems and ensure success from the outset – from the strategic planning and negotiating phase through to the drafting and implementation of the contracts and the period of integration.
