Wedlake Bell has advised long-standing client, Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. (Fuller’s), the premium pubs and hotels business, on its acquisition of Lovely Pubs, a collection of seven fantastic pubs in Warwickshire, six of which are freehold, for a total consideration of £22.5 million.
The seven pubs are a highly complementary addition to Fuller’s existing portfolio of pubs and hotels in neighbouring counties and align perfectly with Fuller’s vision and strategy.
Wedlake Bell’s specialist cross-departmental M&A team was led on the corporate side by Partner Adam Lynch and on the real estate side by Partner Marc Leyshon. The corporate team included Senior Associate David Duhig, Associate Maria Nadarajah and Solicitor Zahra Shah and the real estate team included Charlotte Meredith. In addition, Gemma Williams advised on corporate tax, Choy Lau on employment and Adam Betts on IP and commercial law matters.
