Restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs


Acting for the cream of high end London hospitality, we are well-versed in the vagaries of setting up F&D operations and the various property issues which require solving for your operation to run smoothly. 

Our expertise covers the property aspects of acquisitions; the purchase and sale of pub portfolios; individual occupiers; franchise operations; restaurant leases; members clubs; M&A transactions and operating and management agreements of all kinds.
