We are the firm of choice for many major brands in the Hospitality and Leisure sector who trust us to protect their reputations and their pockets. Anywhere there's food, drink, gambling or entertainment, our team of specialists can help.
We have extensive experience advising clients across the sector, incorporating hotels, restaurants, bars, pubs, breweries, cinemas, theatres, betting shops, bingo clubs, night clubs, casinos, arcades, bowling centres and a variety of visitor attractions.
We have a distinguished history of challenging proposed and implemented legislation in the UK and EU. Acting for trade associations and individual companies, we provide coherent opinions and respond quickly to consultations that challenge how laws are drafted or applied. If persuasion does not work, the team has an impressive track record in bringing judicial review proceedings against UK regulators.
The day-to-day problems that crop up in this heavily-regulated sector are diverse; and so is our team. It comprises experts on food and drink regulations, food hygiene, alcohol, entertainment and gambling licensing, health and safety, trading standards, advertising standards, intellectual property, e-commerce, environmental pollution, data protection, outsourcing and distribution agreements, sponsorship arrangements, debt recovery, real estate litigation, disability discrimination, employment and consumer credit agreements.
Our 20-strong group handles contentious and non-contentious work (including transactional) on behalf of clients to protect reputations, saving time and money in the process.
