The Joint Venture And Shareholders Agreement is a fundamental document used when two or more parties wish to establish a joint business venture under Dutch law while clearly defining their roles as shareholders. This document is particularly relevant when parties seek to combine resources, expertise, or market access while maintaining distinct corporate identities. It addresses crucial aspects such as capital contributions, profit sharing, management structure, transfer restrictions, and exit mechanisms. The agreement must comply with Dutch corporate law requirements and often includes specific provisions for both domestic and international partnerships. It's commonly used in cross-border transactions where at least one party has Dutch operations or when the joint venture entity is established in the Netherlands. The document serves as both the operational blueprint for the joint venture and the governing document for shareholder relationships.
