A joint venture is a means by which parties associate for carrying on business in common for trading or commercial purposes. Joint ventures can be established by contract, by incorporating a joint venture vehicle, or through a trust, agency, or joint ownership of assets.
A joint venture relationship gives the parties rights but also obligations, including duties owed to the other joint venture partners.
