The Joint Venture Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing collaborative business ventures under Swiss law. This document type is essential when two or more entities wish to combine resources, expertise, or market access while maintaining separate legal identities through a new joint venture entity. The JV Agreement encompasses all crucial aspects required by Swiss corporate law and commercial practice, including detailed provisions on corporate governance, capital structure, profit distribution, and strategic decision-making. It is particularly relevant for both domestic Swiss ventures and international collaborations, requiring careful consideration of Swiss private international law and cross-border implications. The agreement must comply with Swiss competition law requirements and include specific provisions mandated by the Swiss Code of Obligations.
