Many property developers will join together to undertake property development. This allows expertise and specialist knowledge to be shared in order to make a profit. A joint venture agreement is made between property developers or more parties. It is important to seek independent legal advice before entering into a joint venture agreement so you can ensure your specific needs, concerns, and conditions are upheld or met.

Although a joint venture agreement is a form of a development agreement, these can take many other forms depending on the nature of the project.

There are a number of factors that need to be considered when structuring a joint venture project. For example, the joint venture agreement will need to include the following:

• The scope and nature of the project
• The objectives of each party
• The degree of control and input each party is to have
• How the project is to be funded
• Who is to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the project
• What is the agreed duration of the project
• How to resolve disagreements or deadlocks reached under the terms of the joint venture
• If a party wishes to leave the joint venture, how this is to be dealt with
