Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide guidance to real estate and finance counsel on practices to minimize financial and legal liabilities when negotiating and structuring real estate joint venture operating agreements.
Description
Joint ventures offer a number of advantages, but failure to carefully negotiate and structure the joint venture operating agreement will create problems and legal liabilities for all parties to the venture down the road.
Real estate and finance counsel needs to understand all the pertinent issues to succesfully allocate control and address economic issues when negotiating and structuring real estate joint venture operating agreements.
Listen as our panel of real estate and finance attorneys explains the legal issues to consider at the formation of a real estate joint venture to minimize risk for the parties. The panel will outline effective ways to determine governance and control of the venture, as well as capital contributions and fees, and to minimize financial and legal risk when structuring the joint venture operating agreement.
Outline
I. Capital contributions and capital calls
II. Distributions, allocations and other tax provisions
III. Governance and control issues
IV. Allocating financial and legal liabilities
V. Related party agreements
VI. Exit
Benefits
The panel will review these and other key questions:
- What are the current legal trends regarding the establishment and operation of joint ventures?
- How should governance and control issues be determined?
- What risk allocation and risk shifting measures should be included in the joint venture operating agreement to protect the real estate developer or investor and the private equity investor?
Following the speaker presentations, you'll have an opportunity to get answers to your specific questions during the interactive Q&A.
