Joint Ventures Between Business Entities (Aug 2022)
Joint ventures are essential to the business environment in Texas. Though courts have generally treated these like general partnerships and applied partnership law, there are two distinct and possibly opposite trends that we will discuss. First, courts are increasingly finding that JV interests are securities (particularly in the oil and gas space in TX and CO) and second, the Delaware Court of Chancery has allowed a JV to disclaim partnership status and fiduciary duties, though the JV is not an entity that statutorily has the power to disclaim fiduciary duties.
