For decades we have had a global team of 100% dedicated leisure & hospitality lawyers advising clients on matters spanning six continents. The size, complexity and geographic scope of deals that our team has worked on, and is currently advising on, reflects our standing in this sector as the preeminent law firm working on hotel matters.
We have deliberately developed a group of clients drawn from all parts of the industry, including owners, investors, developers, brands, third-party operators, and lenders. We have been leaders for more than three decades in advising clients on complex hotel management agreements. We handle transactions involving specialty areas of hotels and resorts (golf, marinas, spa, and food and beverage management and licensing arrangements) presenting an added complexity, as they must work seamlessly with the hotel operations. We have advised on some of the most important hotel and resort acquisition and disposition transactions in recent years. We have unsurpassed expertise relating to mixed-use projects around the world—in particular, projects that combine hotel and residential components, including hotels with serviced residences, “condo hotels” and other hybrid structures. We have worked alongside the in-house business and legal teams of some of the hotel industry's leaders to guide them through the complex legal and commercial issues associated with hotel industry matters.
