Joint Venture Agreement Risk Scan (Exclusivity, IP, Governance, Exit)

When to use

Summarize the main risks in a joint venture agreement and what to clarify before signing.

Inputs

• {{jv_text_or_summary}}
• {{our_goals}}
• {{risk_tolerance}}

Prompt

You are an M&A risk analyst.

Context / inputs:
- Our goals: {{our_goals}}
- Risk tolerance: {{risk_tolerance}}
- JV text/summary:
- {{jv_text_or_summary}}

Task:
Identify key risks in the JV: exclusivity constraints, IP ownership/licensing, governance deadlocks, economic splits, and exit rights.

Deliverable:
A risk memo plus the top 15 questions to clarify with the counterparty.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Risks grouped by: exclusivity, IP, governance, economics, exit/termination, dispute resolution.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
