Our Mission

We believe that joint ventures introduce a set of additive challenges that wholly-owned businesses do not face - and that the managerial tools used for wholly-owned assets fail to adequately surface and address these issues, and that these issues create a material drag on JV performance. Water Street Partners helps JV CEOs, board directors, deal makers, and other executives understand and address these challenges.

Our Services

We offer pre- and post-deal advisory, execution, and analytic support to our clients on joint ventures, as well as other complex alliances, consortia, and minority operating positions (see Exhibit 1). At the individual venture level, this includes:

  • Venture structuring and negotiation
  • Venture launch
  • Venture management and restructuring

For large existing joint ventures, we offer an in-depth benchmarking service and holistic “health check” to help JV Boards and CEOs to identify the leading indicators of underperformance.

At the corporate level, we help companies enhance their venture management capabilities and processes, as well as conduct joint venture and alliance portfolio reviews.
