Consortium & joint ventures

Having a partner in consortium in public procurement projects is a relationship that needs to be protected from a legal perspective in order to go forward.

We assist our clients in working together and in facing challenges during public procurement tenders and about what to do if the relationship collapses. We are with our clients every step of the way and guide them through the joint venture agreements, updating them to reflect the commercial realities and necessities in the public procurement bidding process by developing and negotiating the most effective structure for our client in the consortium/joint venture.
