Practices

Food and beverage

Our expertise in the food and beverage industry is truly global.

Locally, we have completed innumerable F&B deals throughout the UK, EU and Eastern Europe (including Russia, the Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus).

Further afield, particularly popular areas for food and beverage network expansion have recently been China, India, Japan, South East Asia and the Middle East.

Within South East Asia we have helped  our food and beverage clients expand into countries as diverse as Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Our work with Caffe Nero focused on their multiple outlet expansion throughout Turkey. However, other food and beverage clients or ours have looked to expand into continent bridging countries such as Turkey whilst also granting further rights to Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other states across the Middle East.

In addition, our food and beverage expertise has also lead to our providing advice to governments on their franchise regulation methods such as the Chinese Government’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Indian Government.
