We support hotel operators, restaurant groups, leisure developers, and franchise businesses on the commercial agreements, licensing, employment, and dispute risks that come with running hospitality operations in the UAE.
We act for the parties who carry real risk in UAE hospitality: hotel owners, operators, developers, restaurant groups, and investors.
Whether you are launching a new venue, running a branded operation, or protecting a hospitality asset, we focus on your position when licences, leases, management terms, or brand standards come under pressure.

We advise hotel groups on management agreements, brand standards, and operational compliance across Dubai and the UAE, including disputes that can affect performance and reputation.

We represent owners and asset managers protecting high-value hospitality assets, including operator issues, lease exposure, and enforcement steps that impact revenues and exits.

We support developers and investors on project structuring and hospitality development risk, including delays, handover issues, defect exposure, and contractor claims that affect opening timelines.



We help with day to day legal decisions, keep contracts and correspondence under control, and step in early so issues do not become disputes. When escalation is unavoidable, we handle negotiations, arbitration, or court proceedings with continuity.

Hospitality matters are operational and time-sensitive, with high-volume contracting, staffing exposure, and brand-driven standards. Our team helps you manage agreements, claims, and compliance without interrupting day-to-day operations.
The work we step into is typically:
You tell us what you do and where the pressure points are. We review your key contracts, workflow, and recurring issues, then prioritise what to fix first.
We assign the matter to the right lawyer from our 25+ team, with senior oversight and, where appropriate, direct involvement from Pierre.
You receive redlines, revised clauses, resolutions, or a short risk note with recommended positions and next steps. Where a matter escalates, we also support you through formal dispute resolution.
We handle iterations and negotiation support until the document is signed, the issue is resolved, or the next step is executed.
Share the context and any deadlines. We will respond with a clear next step, whether you need ongoing support or help with a specific project.
