Tourism

Tourism and travel continues to gain significant momentum and is a major contributor to economic growth.

From project inception to operation and beyond, our team draws on their combined experience to offer a one-stop-shop approach for all legal and regulatory requirements. We deliver the full spectrum of advice for tourism and leisure owners and operators, property developers, fund managers and corporate entities.

Our track record reflects our long-term industry presence advising clients across Australia and abroad, regardless of their headquarters. For our multinational clients we often work with leading law firms across the globe seeing ourselves as an extension of their team, committed to delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.

We are experienced in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and financing, due diligence, sales and acquisitions, property development and refurbishments, structuring, tax advice and foreign investment review board (FIRB) applications.

We have a deep knowledge of, and advise on the interface between hotel ownership, management and operation and every facet driving return.

Our expertise also covers planning and environment, construction and delivery, claims and dispute resolution, liquor licensing, commercial agreements, operational advice, financial services, regulatory, intellectual property, insurance and risk, employment and workplace, and technology.
