Hotels & Hospitality

We provide our Hotel and Hospitality clients with a full range of services, offering tailored advice and connections to support every area of their business activities.

Our clients include established national portfolio owner operators, entrepreneurial investors and luxury developers and architects. All need a legal partner that understands how their industry, workforce and assets operate in an evolving sector.

Our advice covers all business services, disputes, and full cycle commercial real estate from transactions and lending to construction and operating.

Alongside our internal expertise we draw upon a wide network of industry contacts, to provide a service that delivers beyond legal advice and gives our clients a commercial, competitive edge.
