Key Considerations in Commercial JV Agreement Drafting
When drafting a Joint Venture Agreement for commercial projects in Kenya, several critical elements must be addressed. These include the precise definition of the project's scope and objectives, the nature and valuation of each party's contributions (whether financial, asset-based, or intellectual property), profit and loss sharing mechanisms, and governance structures. Ensuring clarity on decision-making processes, management oversight, and reporting lines is vital, especially when dealing with complex projects requiring coordination between various stakeholders and regulatory bodies like the National Construction Authority or the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. Our advocates at Mwenda Njagi & Co.
