Strategic alliances in international trade: the joint venture contract

Abstract

Currently, in the global world in which we operate, and given the splendor achieved by international trade, it is of particular interest to carry out a reflection on the importance of strategic alliances, especially in joint venture contracts. The cooperation of companies, depending on the structural characteristics and targets, is increasingly becoming an alternative to conquer other markets. However, in spite of the various legal and doctrinal conceptions that involve this legal business, it presents itself as a common enterprise, having as content the common purpose itself and the obligation to pursue it. These instruments aim at the union and approaching companies for carrying out a joint project that otherwise would not be possible to achieve. Here lies the practicality of these contracts. Their structure leads to an analysis, which we will carry out, through doctrine, and real examples, seeking to highlight the main commercial legal aspects.
