| We have acted for clients in
the hotel and restaurant sector for many years and therefore
have an exceptional insight into the legal issues which our
clients face when running their businesses.
In this particular sector, almost all of the firm’s
services are brought into play as part of advising our hotel
and restaurant clients.
- Our corporate team regularly advises on major acquisitions
for hotels, including pre-contract due diligence, advice
on the structure of the deal, negotiating the acquisition
contract and advice on the financing of the acquisition.
Where the acquisition involves the takeover of a public
company we can deal with all requirements of the City Code
on Takeovers and Mergers.G
- Goodman Derrick LLP’s employment
law team assist on the many issues that arise during the
course of a sale or purchase of a business (transfer of
undertakings, examination and reports on staff contracts)
and they also advise on the usual day to day issues that
are always involved with running a business that relies
so much on the proper performance of staff.
- Our clients’ premises are
clearly a key part of their businesses and our property
team’s skill is to ensure that our clients’
needs are met by an individual or a team that provides the
most relevant expertise. We regularly advise clients on
a variety of property-related matters, including the acquisition
or disposal of freehold and leasehold premises and the many
other aspects of property ownership and occupation.
- The services we offer in respect
of alcohol entertainment and licensing law focus upon the
licensing requirements associated with corporate and commercial
property transactions, as well as the general management
of our clients' licensing needs. In broad terms, this means
the making of applications for personal licences, for temporary
event notices, and for the grant, variation or transfer
of premises licences.
- Goodman Derrick LLP’s litigation
team assist and advise in the resolution of a variety of
disputes in which our clients inevitably become involved
from time to time. This may involve the courts or alternative
remedies such as structured negotiation, arbitration or
mediation.
We act for a wide range of clients, both nationally and internationally.
We are accustomed to dealing clients with a large group of
operations but we have also acted for clients who just have
one particular hotel or restaurant. In all cases, we pride
ourselves on providing our individual partner-led service.
