Hotels & Leisure

About

Provided by Brodies LLP

Our expert lawyers regularly act for owners, operators and lenders in transactions including acquisitions and disposals, management and franchise agreements, land-use and planning, financings, and operational matters and disputes. We have particularly strong experience with branded residential and other mixed-use schemes.

Clients turn to us for our in-depth knowledge of the hotel industry as well as our legal expertise; our lawyers have closed hotel transactions in more than 75 countries.

With experience advising participants from all sides in the hotel market, the Brodies team focus on commercial solutions that steer complex deals across the line, often within challenging timing constraints. Our clients include Accor Hotels, Kempinski Hotels & Resorts, sbe Entertainment, ClubMed SA, as well as international investors and private equity houses who focus on the hotels sector.

In most prime retail destinations in Scotland Brodies is involved in around one in three of all deals, and in the leisure sector it is close to one in two. No other firm in Scotland demonstrates the scale and quality of our practice. Our clients include leading high street and out of town retailers, foodstores and new entrants to the UK market.

The depth of knowledge and size of our retail and leisure teams allows Brodies to handle large scale portfolio restructuring projects just as adeptly as individual acquisition, disposal or re-gear deals.
