Mayer Brown's Joint Venture practice spans such business segments as biotechnology, chemicals, information technology, pharmaceuticals, real estate, manufacturing, business services and automobiles and other consumer goods. We help public companies achieve synergies and efficiencies in a particular product or service market and assist small start-up entities looking to obtain a partner with the financial and other resources needed to bring a concept to market.

Working closely with our colleagues in tax, antitrust/competition, real estate and intellectual property, we assist our clients in the implementation of exit rights and strategies, including a sale of or initial public offering by the joint venture. We also advise on control and management structures, deadlock resolution mechanisms and rights to exploit intellectual property and products developed by the joint venture.
