With our world-wide experience in the hotel and hospitality market and strong focus on Eastern Europe we are happy to be able to support international investors, operators and local development companies on all legal aspects of hotel operational matters. This includes the revision and negotiation of management contracts, lease and franchise agreements as well as sales & acquisitions of hotels (or other property) whether existing or under construction.

We are able to guide you through the whole process of negotiation, starting with the letter of intent, followed by analysis, due diligence, ancillary documents and hopefully completion at terms most favorable to you.

In addition to legal support, we are able to participate in the negotiations without the necessity for you to hire an interpreter and incur additional costs. We can revise all agreements in both English and Russian simultaneously.

We do not limit our services to legal hospitality consulting: we can also advise you on real estate and corporate matters. Our services comprise transaction, investment and acquisition structuring support.
