Restaurant & Retail Sector

We offer a one-stop legal service for the restaurant and retail industries. Our core practice areas complement the needs of any restaurant operator or retail business, whether they are a high street chain rolling out already established brands or a start up enterprise. We have developed a particular expertise advising restaurant operators and are now one of the pre-eminent advisors to businesses in the sector with an unrivalled client base. Our services include negotiating commercial agreements and leases; arranging the requisite licensing and resolving any ancillary employment or business issues.

In keeping with this one-stop approach we find that clients can require advice and assistance at any stage of the operational cycle of a restaurant or retail business, from:

  • forming (and then administering) the entity under which the business is going to trade.
  • acquiring the premises.
  • dealing with Construction claims and disputes.
  • Licensing – all aspects of premises and personal licences and applications.
  • Employment – any business relies on its staff and staff rely on their employers. This is a rapidly evolving area of law where our specialist advice is essential.

We are able to offer seminars to our clients on all of the above subject areas.
