The Joint Venture Unregistered Security Trap
from Syndication Attorney Field Notes with Tilden Moschetti Hosted by Tilden Moschetti
Can you avoid syndication paperwork by calling your capital raise a joint venture? Many sponsors assume that if they only have a few investors, a simple JV agreement will suffice. In this episode, syndication attorney Tilden Moschetti explains why the legal reality is determined by the facts, not the document's title. We explore the critical distinction between active partners and passive capital, the unintended liability of selling an unregistered security, and why a Regulation D syndication is usually the better structure for keeping operational control.
