Hotels & Leisure

The Hotels & Leisure sector faces huge challenges within an increasingly global and competitive market. The dynamic of hotel markets makes experience and celerity in the answer, critical elements for success.

  • Acquisitions, Sales and Mergers
  • Corporate Law
  • Management Agreements, Technical & Preopening Services Agreements
  • Trademark License Agreements, Marketing & Central Services Agreements
  • Commercial Contracts
  • Financial Structuring
  • Regulation and Competition
  • Media and Advertisement
  • Tax Law

We have an in-depth knowledge of how the law applies in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
