If you are concerned about using advisers who really understand how the law affects your business, whether you are a managed, leased or a tied operator, you can be confident that our extensive experience of the sector will deliver the expertise you need.

As we interact with operators on a daily basis we appreciate the way in which the market place has changed in recent years, with the merging of boundaries between pubs, restaurants and casual dining opportunities. We have seen the rise of the flexible day-round formula, and understand the challenge of engaging customers whose loyalty is being stretched across a huge portfolio of available brands.

By understanding the pressures that you face, we are well equipped to provide the legal support to assist your business in meeting these challenges – whether it be by helping with extended licensing hours, looking after your intellectual property, advising on staffing concerns or on your property portfolio.

The need to stand out from the crowd has resulted in us seeing a trend for more innovative joint ventures and different types of management agreements, including franchised models and other trading terms. Our creative approach means that we can help you to shape an arrangement that meets your commercial needs.
