In a real estate JV, two or more parties combine resources to pursue a project and share profits and losses. The agreement sets each party’s role, contribution, and profit share. It also details decision rights and remedies if a partner withdraws.
Ownership is typically expressed as a percentage of equity and corresponding control rights. The agreement defines voting thresholds and which decisions require unanimous consent or supermajority, along with how profits and losses are distributed.
For small projects, a simplified JV can work if terms are clear and focused. Still, a written agreement helps prevent misunderstandings and protects both sides.
Taxes depend on the chosen structure; a JV may be treated as a partnership for tax purposes, with income passing through to investors. Planning with a tax advisor is advisable, and the agreement should align with those results.
If a partner withdraws, the agreement should specify a buyout process, valuation method, and notice requirements. Provisions for dispute resolution help maintain progress during transitions.
Lenders can participate in a JV through secured interests or project-specific guarantees. We draft terms that protect financing needs while preserving partner protections and governance.
Governance terms should designate decision authorities, meeting frequency, reserved matters, and veto rights for critical actions like budget approval or land use changes.
JV timelines vary with project scope, due diligence, and financing. We help map a realistic timeline and coordinate milestones to keep the project on track.
Yes, you can revise an existing JV agreement. Any amendments should be agreed to by all parties and properly documented, often with a restatement of terms.
