Hotels & Leisure

 As an owner, investor, lender or operator in the hospitality and leisure industry, you are faced with complex business issues that require expert solutions. In addition to managing real estate assets, your issues may include corporate, tax, financing, construction, environmental, litigation and employment matters, often across borders.

Together with our clients, we have participated  in various tender processes for the concession of gaming casinos in Chile, as well as M&A operations for the acquisition of hotels and gaming casinos in other parts of Latin America.

We can advise you on M&A, financing, development and construction, leasing, management and franchise agreements and tax structuring. We have a perfect working knowledge of the applicable regulations for every case, and we begin to participate from the early stages of project development, familiarising ourselves with the minute details regarding tender requirements for the award of concessions in competitive bidding processes.

Knowledge of this regulated market and of its key players in Chile has allowed us to successfully advise our clients in their access to the public securities market, in order to finance their growth.

"The service provided is excellent: the well co-ordinated team offers an integrated and expert approach to problems. The lawyers also show great commitment to clients and are extremely diligent"
