Course Overview

Ambiguity in partnership and joint venture agreements is resolved against the party that drafted it. The cost of getting venture agreements wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of legal and contractual practice and the judgement to adapt it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting partnership and joint venture agreements and under-invest in testing it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the legal and contractual practice discipline that were visible long before the incident. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a contract template for venture agreements as they go. They leave able to brief senior management on partnership and joint venture agreements in terms that support a decision. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on venture agreements are used deliberately. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this aspect of legal and contractual practice survives a hostile question.
