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.
