Hospitality, Leisure & Retail

Providing crucial corporate, commercial and financial support and expertise

Hospitality, Leisure & Retail

Scotland’s hospitality, leisure and retail sectors embrace a spectrum of businesses including hotels, pubs and restaurants, travel and tourism operators, sporting and leisure facilities.

While markets remain vibrant, the sector is under constant pressure to deliver innovation, quality and value.

Investment in hotels, sports and recreational centres, retail parks, travel centres, restaurants and shopping malls help future-proof the sector. The Digital age presents further opportunities. With the right support and guidance, innovation and creativity can thrive, and dividends can be realised.

As a full service firm, Stronachs has a range of experienced advisers operating across all our teams to support businesses operating in the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors.

Our clients range from individuals and start-ups to established national and international corporations.  Many are family-run businesses with needs specific to family circumstances and traditions.

Acting for owners and operators in the sector, we provide skilled advice and support for all corporate and commercial property matters, employment, environmental, health and safety issues, dispute resolution, licensing, banking and finance.

Our lawyers understand the needs of businesses operating in this sector and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience enabling us to be proactive, commercial and innovative.   Our focus is on understanding your needs, minimising risk and helping your business succeed in what is a highly competitive marketplace.
