Is "our working together" grammatically correct?
As in "I look forward to our working together"? I'd rather say "...to us working together" or "to working with you". Thanks.
Also, I understand "...our work together" is correct. But "our working" instead of "us working"?

"Our working together" is grammatically correct because the possessive "our" makes "working" a noun (gerund); thus, "our" doesn't seem redundant here. It just has a slightly different tone from "us working together" (where "us" is somewhat redundant, but not wrong). For me, the first example sounds more friendly, or like the previous answer says, more informal.
Personally, I like what you said the most: "I look forward to working with you."

Both "to working together" or "to our working together" are grammatical.
They're both prepositional phrases, that use the participle "working" as a verb, then "together" as its adverb.
"I look forward to working together" is more formal, since the possessive "our" is redundant before the adverb "together," but just because it's redundant, doesn't mean it's grammatically incorrect. It's just a little more informal.

'I am looking forward to work together'
there is no need to put 'our' in the sentence when u are saying 'together' at the same time.
