Joint Ventures
& Shareholders
Agreements

Overview

Joint ventures and co-investment arrangements create real commercial value — but poorly structured agreements create disputes. STA Legal advises on all aspects of JV formation, shareholder arrangements and minority investor protection, with a focus on governance, deadlock resolution and exit mechanics.

What We Handle

• Joint venture agreements and constitutional documents
• Shareholders agreements and articles of association
• Minority investor rights and protections
• Deadlock resolution mechanisms
• Drag-along and tag-along provisions
• Pre-emption and anti-dilution rights
• Exit structuring and compulsory transfer provisions
• JV disputes and exit enforcement

Our Approach

We draft agreements that are commercially workable over the long term — not just at the point of signature. That means thinking carefully about governance, decision-making thresholds, and what happens when things go wrong. We advise on both the initial structuring and, when needed, enforcement and exit.
