A joint venture agreement sets out what each party will contribute, how profits are shared, and who runs the project. It also covers dispute resolution and exits. A well drafted agreement helps partners coordinate capital, timelines, and responsibilities while complying with California law.
Parties to a JV can include developers, investors, landowners, and operators who bring different resources. The agreement defines roles, contributions, and governance so decisions can be made efficiently.
Ownership structure depends on capital contributions, negotiated terms, and risk sharing. Common models use percentage interests or preferred returns tied to milestones.
