We have an in-depth understanding of the corporate, commercial, real estate and construction issues that affect this sector. Our cross-firm hotel and leisure team provides the full range of legal services required by clients across the industry spectrum, from hotel chains, owners, managers, franchisors and businesses supporting the hotel industry, to luxury high end resorts.
We advise on all aspects (including structuring and financing) of acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures, developments and other transactions undertaken by clients as well as all related areas of commercial activity (including construction contracts and professional appointments, management agreements, franchising, operational leases, promotional matters and fractional entitlement), whether in relation to existing businesses or new operating sites. We also have experience of fund-raisings on international capital markets for hotel clients.
Our core corporate, property, tax and construction expertise and in-depth sector experience as well as our considerable resources in planning, real estate finance and real estate management enable us to support sophisticated and complex transactions in the sector, whether of a wholly domestic or international nature.
