Description
A joint venture is a relationship, the success of which requires that the interests of both the sponsor and the investor be aligned, not only at the outset, but throughout the project. To achieve this, not only is a strong grasp of the scope and time frame of the project itself essential, but also a thorough understanding of the parties’ motivations and perspectives combined with a firm command of the issues and an adroit approach to resolving them.
