Hospitality and leisure
PROCTOR supports hotels, restaurants, tour operators and entertainment venues. The key legal issues: franchises and management agreements with international hotel operators (HMA), lease of locations and alcohol licences for the restaurant business, licensing of tour operators and liability for the tourist product.
Why PROCTOR
The hotel and restaurant business is built on location, brand and licences, the three assets that are easiest to lose through legal mistakes. PROCTOR negotiates agreements with international hotel operators on the side of Ukrainian owners, structures the lease of key locations and handles the licensing matters of HoReCa.
We understand the operational specifics of hospitality, seasonality, staff, relations with guests, and give solutions that work in the daily operations of a venue.

Practices for the industry
The teams of PROCTOR that run matters in this sector.
Corporate law and M&AThe flagship transactional practice: the legal foundation for owning, running and selling a business. It covers M&A deals, corporate structuring and the protection of owners' interests, together with adjacent areas - employment relations with staff and senior management, and the personal wealth matters of business owners (private clients).
Dispute resolution and enforcementThe full cycle of protecting a client's interests in a dispute: national courts of every jurisdiction and instance, international commercial and investment arbitration and, above all, turning a judgment won into money actually recovered.
Intellectual property and data protectionProtection of the intangible assets of a business: brands, technology, content and trade secrets - plus the lawfulness of personal data processing and legal readiness for cyber incidents. A natural pair for technology and consumer companies.
Real estate, construction and landA practice built around the main tangible asset of a business: commercial real estate deals, construction permitting, development projects and the full range of land matters - from the agricultural land market to the land banks of agricultural companies.
Tax practiceA standalone practice with the strongest lead generation potential: protecting a business from additional tax assessments, blocked tax invoices and pressure from the tax authorities, together with the lawful optimisation of the tax burden.
