Hospitality & Leisure

From pubs and restaurants to national hotel groups, our specialist team provides practical advice to operators, investors and funders to help you grow and protect your business.

Our hospitality and leisure team acts for a remarkable blend of clients operating across the licensed trade and hospitality sectors.

We represent the operators of pubs, nightclubs, shops and restaurants, and we act for major hotel operators nationally, as well as a number of boutique operators at locations throughout Scotland.

Frequently, we also act for investors and funders in connection with the acquisition of licensed premises. Paul Jennings, our Head of Commercial Real Estate, also sits on the board of the Hospitality Industry Trust.
