Joint Venture Versus Partnership: What is the Difference?

Posted on September 5, 2017January 9, 2024 By Jay Young No Comments on Joint Venture Versus Partnership: What is the Difference?

            A joint venture is a contractual relationship in the nature of an informal partnership wherein two or more persons conduct some business enterprise, agreeing to share jointly, or in proportion to capital contributed, in profits and losses.  A prime example we see often is a venture for the development of land.  In this example, one venturer may own real property and may agree to allow a second venturer to build improvements (an office building, for instance) on the real property and that the venture will sell the real property with the improvements and share in the profits at an agreed-upon rate.

Nevada Partnership Formation and Law

Posted on August 24, 2017 By Jay Young No Comments on Nevada Partnership Formation and Law
Nevada Partnership Formation and Law
Nevada Partnership Formation and Law

I hear people refer to those with whom they do business as their “partners” frequently.  I even hear this from people who are really shareholders in a corporation or members in a limited liability company.  I am fairly certain that if most of them understood the potential liability of forming a true partnership, they would never call themselves someone’s partner ever again.  Partnerships are relatively easy to form (beware: some court decisions and Nevada’s statutes have held that a partnership can be formed just by telling those with whom you are doing business that you and another person are “partners”), requiring simply an association of two or more persons doing business together for a profit.  NRS 87.060(1).  Every partner is a fiduciary to the other partner(s).  That means the partner has a legal duty to act in the best interests of his or her partners and of the partnership rather than acting in his or her own interest.  NRS 87.210.

What are Bylaws for a Nevada Corporation?

Posted on March 13, 2017January 9, 2024 By Jay Young No Comments on What are Bylaws for a Nevada Corporation?

A corporation’s bylaws are written rules by which the corporation, its officers, directors, and shareholders must abide.  They establish how the company is ruled and what are the duties and obligations of its officers, directors, and shareholders.  Unlike the articles of incorporation, there is no obligation to file the bylaws with the Nevada Secretary of State.

Most bylaws will contain (remembering that the officers and directors will be legally required to adhere to the standards.  Importantly, if they are sued, the bylaws are the standard against which their actions will be judged):
