Reducing Risk Through Effective Due Diligence

Date: 01/28/2011
Professional: Jason Bullen

On February 28, 2011, Jake Bullen, a partner in the Business Law Group, will be speaking on ways to reduce risk through effective due diligence. The session will be part of Osgoode Professional Development's "The Legal and Business Guide to Structuring, Negotiating and Documenting Joint Venture Agreements."

Summary:

If you want your joint venture to be successful, it is important to ensure your potential business partner is the type of business partner that you can trust and work with effectively to build not only profit but also adequate business controls. That is why you must thoroughly investigate and evaluate your potential partner before entering into the relationship. The better joint venture processes enlist both external and internal audit support as soon as possible and may go on for some time and involve marketing and advertising strategies as well as financial analysis.
