Hospitality, Tourism & Retail
Legal advice for hospitality, tourism and retail: site rights, operator roles, brand and booking systems, supplier terms and venue handover.
Separate the premises from the service
Identify the site and each activity: lodging, food, retail, events or digital bookings. Compare rights under the lease, management or franchise agreement with current permissions and insurance for that particular site. Possession of a premises does not by itself answer what each operator may provide there.
Map the operating chain
Write down who sets prices, controls the brand and reservations, orders stock, hires staff, handles complaints and authorizes refunds. Compare those responsibilities with access to the booking or point-of-sale system. If a platform fails, a supplier misses a delivery or a brand owner removes access, decide who serves customers and records the response. Exclusive supply and uninterrupted service promises need a workable fallback.
Plan handover before a dispute
Renovation or termination can leave open bookings, vouchers, deposits, stock, workers and customer records. Agree on notice, inventory, data export, brand-use cutoff and who handles later complaints. Check each contract against current local rules and the actual site before making a promise to guests or retailers.
