Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances

Mintz Levin aids clients in the negotiation of agreements that allow our clients to achieve maximum leverage from their intellectual property and other resources. Among these agreements are complex joint ventures and strategic alliances that allow corporate partners to benefit from each other's strengths. We have handled these agreements in the biotechnology, health care, Internet, hospitality, energy, retail, real estate, construction, and manufacturing industries. The results of these arrangements include collaboration on the development of new drugs, increased manufacturing and distribution of early-stage products, the acquisition of physical resources for expansion, and the creation of residential, office and health care properties. 

We work closely with our clients in structuring and implementing transactions that build upon their particular strengths and fill the gaps where there may be weaknesses. For our clients with limited resources, we negotiate with larger corporate partners who bring to the partnership financing, product development, manufacturing and regulatory expertise, and market strength. For our clients who have these resources and are looking for the opportunity to leverage the intellectual property owned by smaller companies, the depth of Mintz Levin's involvement in emerging growth industries means that we can often make introductions to potential partners.
