Helping leisure brands stay bold, relevant & resilient

In leisure and hospitality, expectations are high and change is constant. Whether it’s evolving consumer behaviours, regulatory shifts, or the demand for better, smarter and safer experiences, businesses face pressure to adapt fast and deliver with confidence.

We help leisure and hospitality businesses seize this opportunity. We advise across the entire industry, from site acquisition and development to brand protection, employment, and crisis response.

Our team supports on food safety, health & safety, and licensing, as well as IP, privacy, and data protection. We’re trusted on corporate mergers and acquisitions, private equity, emerging companies and venture capital, restructuring, banking and finance, and insurance matters that underpin sustainable growth. And when disputes arise, whether over property, contracts or reputation, we help resolve them quickly and commercially.

We also work with sports organisations and venues to manage risk, protect rights, and deliver events that meet regulatory and audience expectations. With deep sector knowledge and a commercial mindset, we help leisure & hospitality businesses stay resilient, relevant and ready for what’s next.
