Hotels & leisure
The hotel and leisure industry has changed dramatically over the
last few years with moves towards specialisation, consolidation and
greater internationalisation. Our multidisciplinary Hotel &
Leisure Group has been at the forefront of many of these
changes. As an industry focused group we strive to add a
fresh perspective to transactions, providing a solutions driven
approach based on an understanding of our clients’ business
environment.
Our Group is a leader in the hotel and leisure market and is
ranked as such by The Legal 500, a leading independent guide to the
profession. Our position as a premier leisure practice was
reflected in our nomination by surveyors in the industry for
“Leisure Consultancy of the Year” on two occasions in recent years
in Property Week’s Retail & Leisure Property Awards – the only
lawyers to have received such a nomination.
We are heavily involved in large hotel and
leisure projects, not only in the UK but throughout Europe,
Africa and the Far East.
From managing the roll-out of branded leisure concepts and
franchise operations to advising institutional investors and
financiers in the acquisition disposal and forward funding of hotel
& leisure businesses, we provide a dedicated one-stop service,
committed to innovative and proactive advice.
