Netherlands - Joint Ventures/LicensingNetherlands - JV/Licensing
Joint venture and licensing agreements are common in the Netherlands. The privatization of state-owned enterprises, including telecommunication and public transport, has further stimulated the potential for U.S. firms to enter into joint venture partnerships with Dutch companies. A joint venture can take the form of a partnership or a BV. The structuring of a joint venture is a complicated process and normally requires a specialized advisor.
