Stop a JV partner from disappearing with the revenue, the customers, or both.
The Ultimate Joint Venture Agreement From $197 · the contract + training Get It Now →For when you’re partnering with someone on a project — co-launching products, audience cross-promotion, capital + operator deals. This JV Agreement does two things: it shows your partner you’re a serious professional, and it protects you when the JV runs into the inevitable money-or-control fight.
Starts at $197 and includes training. Full contract packages include 2 months with a 20-year lawyer.
Get This Contract →JVs are partnerships without the legal structure of an LLC. That’s the danger.
You team up on a project — a launch, a promotion, a deal where one side brings money and the other brings the work. The upside looks great, so you move fast on a handshake or a thin one-pager.
Then the money comes in, or the customers do — and there’s a fight over who controls the cash, who owns the relationships, and who actually did the work. With no real JV agreement, there’s no structure to fall back on. One partner walks away with everything.
This is the contract that structures the deal before the money tests it.
What This Contract Defends Against.
These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re scenarios that play out in real courtrooms — and they’re the reason every clause in this contract exists.
The Revenue Vanishing Act
Your JV partner controls the bank account, the payment processor, or the platform the money flows through. Revenue comes in — and your share doesn’t come out. Then they go quiet.
Revenue-split, accounting, and audit-rights provisions — defining how money is collected, held, reported, and distributed, with the right to inspect the books.
The Customer Hijack
The JV gives your partner access to your audience or customers. They use that access to convert those customers into their own solo business — during or after the venture.
Non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions that protect the customer relationships and data each side brings to the table — during the JV and after it ends.
The Contribution Imbalance
You do the bulk of the work — or put in most of the capital — while the other side coasts. When it’s time to split the rewards, they claim an equal share anyway.
Defined contributions, roles, and milestone obligations tied to the split — so what each side gets reflects what each side actually delivers.
These are just 3 of the scenarios that play out in court. There are many more. Every battle-tested clause in this contract exists because of something I’ve seen in 20 years of litigation and business.

Questions About This Contract.
Are you my lawyer? Is this legal advice?
No. These contracts and all related materials are educational and informational only. Purchase does not create an attorney-client relationship and no attorney-client privilege applies. No legal advice is provided through any product. Karam Nahas is not your attorney unless you sign a separate written legal engagement agreement. Consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your situation.
JV vs. partnership vs. LLC — what’s the difference?
A JV is a focused collaboration on a specific project or goal, usually without forming a new company. A partnership is an ongoing business relationship (and can form by conduct, with real liability). An LLC is a formal entity. This agreement gives a JV the structure it’s usually missing — without you having to spin up a whole new company. The walkthrough covers when to use which.
How does it handle profit-sharing?
You define the split, when distributions happen, and how revenue and expenses are accounted for — plus audit rights so you can verify the numbers. The walkthrough covers common profit-split structures and how to avoid the disputes they create.
Who owns the IP created in the JV?
The agreement lets you define ownership of anything created during the venture — jointly or by one party — and what each side keeps when it ends. This is one of the biggest unaddressed risks in JVs, and the walkthrough covers how to set it.
What about exit and dissolution?
Built in. The agreement covers how the JV winds down, how remaining assets and revenue are split, and what happens to customers and IP on exit — so the end of the venture doesn’t become a lawsuit.
What if we want to expand the JV later?
The agreement can scale — and if the venture grows into something ongoing, the walkthrough covers when it makes sense to convert into a formal entity (and pair it with a Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement). With Tier 2+, you can plan that path with Karam directly.
