A joint venture brings several partners together in a common project through a dedicated Luxembourg vehicle. It rests on an agreement organising shared governance, the allocation of powers, financing and exit and deadlock clauses, to be settled before launch to avoid paralysis at the first disagreement.

A joint venture succeeds when the balance between partners is thought through before launch: who decides, who finances, who controls, and how each can exit if the project drifts. Poorly structured, the joint venture stalls at the first disagreement.
Cerno Law Firm selects and forms the suitable Luxembourg vehicle, drafts the joint venture agreement and organises shared governance, the allocation of powers and the exit and deadlock-breaking mechanisms, for a solid and lasting joint venture.
Joint venture lawyer in Luxembourg: when should you call on the firm?
You are launching a common project with one or more partners and must structure a joint venture in Luxembourg.
The challenge is not only to create the vehicle, but to organise the sharing of power and the exits before interests diverge.
What happens if you do nothing?
Unbalanced governance, a deadlock situation with no exit mechanism, unsecured contributions, a partner locked into the project.
A joint venture without a solid agreement becomes paralysed at the first conflict and destroys the value of the project for all partners.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a joint venture?
It is a partnership bringing several partners together in a common project, most often through a dedicated vehicle. In Luxembourg, the firm structures the vehicle and the agreement that organises its balance.
What is a joint venture agreement?
It is the contract that organises the relations between partners: shared governance, allocation of powers, financing, and above all exit and deadlock clauses. It is the centrepiece of the joint venture.
Why provide for exit and deadlock clauses?
Because a joint venture can seize up: these clauses (buy-out, joint exit, deadlock-breaking mechanisms) allow each partner to exit or to unblock the project on terms agreed in advance.
Which Luxembourg vehicle for a joint venture?
The choice depends on the project, the number of partners and the objectives: the firm guides you towards the most suitable form and puts it in place together with the associated agreement.

Had a consultation with Me Cora Maglo about my Luxembourg Blue Card application.
