Hospitality

Running a pub, hotel or hospitality business rarely stops. There’s a property to look after, a team to pay, suppliers to keep onside and customers who expect everything to feel effortless, even on the days when it isn’t. The legal side tends to sit quietly in the background until the moment it really matters: taking on a new site, renewing a lease, buying or selling, or refinancing to fund the next step.

That’s where we come in. We’ve worked alongside the hospitality trade for many years, supporting owners and operators of all sizes through the legal side of running, growing and moving on from a business. It’s a sector we know well, so whatever stage you’re at, you’ll be dealing with people who understand how it actually works.

Most hospitality matters touch two parts of what we do. Our Commercial Property team looks after the bricks and mortar: freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters, and refinancing. Our Business & Commercial team looks after the business itself, from buying and selling a hospitality business through to the everyday commercial and corporate support that keeps it running. We work closely together, so you’re never left to join the dots on your own.

If you’re weighing up a decision, or just want to understand where you stand, we’re always happy to talk it through. No pressure, no jargon; just clear advice from people who know the sector.
