Joint venture and partnership disputes

Members of Wilberforce Chambers are regularly instructed in disputes involving joint venture or partnership arrangements of all types (including contractual, LLP, corporate and trust).  Instructions range from the highest of value disputes to the lower in value but nonetheless important and frequently legally complex.  Many matters in which members act involve a multi-jurisdictional or offshore element, and the assets which are at the heart of disputes range from complex corporate or financial investments to land and high-value chattels.  Members also have particular experience in asset-tracing, insolvency and civil fraud work, as well as shareholder disputes and the termination and winding up of joint venture and partnership arrangements.  Members appear in offshore jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Nevis, Bermuda, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
