Hotels & leisure - real estate
The hotel and leisure industry has changed
dramatically over the past 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. We were 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, complete service,
committed to innovative and pro-active advice.
