We have a real understanding of the evolving commercial trends and behaviours in the retail, leisure and hotel sector, enabling us to provide clients with the best guidance and advice.
Our retail and leisure lawyers work with retailers, operators, investors, developers, franchisees and funders across sector including a host of household-name retailers (from notable fashion brands to retail park mainstays), shopping centre landlords and restaurant chains. Our team has extensive expertise assisting retailers with entry and expansion into the Scottish market.
Our experience of deals in the hotel sector includes buying, selling, leasing developing and funding hotels across Scotland.
We also regularly advise on operating hotels in relation to the acquisition and disposal of trading businesses. That involves dealing with the corporate, property and employment issues that will arise on a disposal of a trading business owning a valuable real estate asset. Specialist support is usually also required on matters like licensing, construction, planning, health and safety/environmental, pensions and tax.
