KNOWING ER LAW EXAMPLE DOCUMENTS

One of the significant benefits of membership of ER Law is access to our Example Model Documents. ER Law is renowned for its Example Documents. Their quality has been recognised internationally.

We are currently reviewing the documents with the support and expertise of Tony Wassaf, Partner at Jones Day in Sydney. Tony has kindly offered to provide a regular email to reintroduce the documents to the membership.

Knowing ER Law Example Documents series is designed to spotlight key example documents available to support your legal work — whether for transactions, clause drafting, or training.

This edition focuses on Joint Venture Agreements.

Included on the ER Law website:

  • Mineral Exploration Joint Venture Agreement (for two or three parties)
  • Mining Joint Venture Agreement
  • Petroleum Exploration Joint Operating Agreement

Also available are optional and alternative clauses, as well as a Deed of Cross Security.

Templates include clauses covering:

  • Manager roles, responsibilities, and liability
  • Management committee structure
  • Cash calls and reporting
  • Pre-emptive rights
  • Defaults and dispute resolution

We encourage you to explore these resources in the Member Centre of the ER Law website.
