Analysis
In this article, Tara Marlow, Head of our Hospitality practice, interviews Nick O'Connell, of our Technology, Media & Telecommunications team, to discuss some of the areas in which their respective practices overlap.
Tara: As you know, our regional Hospitality practice has grown rapidly over recent years, and we now support an extensive range of clients who operate within the hotel and leisure industry, Each client, whether a hotel owner, hotel or restaurant operator, tour operator or an investor has different requirements which can cover anything from advice on corporate structure, licensing, acquisition/disposal, appointment of an operator to manage a hotel, employment issues or dispute resolution.
We have recently opened our new office in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the Northern Emirates in the UAE, and that decision was driven, at least in part, to support its plans to further enhance and develop the Emirate's tourism industry.
