Hospitality

The Indian hospitality sector operates under a complex framework of laws and regulations, and we provide comprehensive advisory services to ensure legal and commercial success. We offer end-to-end guidance to obtain the numerous licenses required, including the appropriate FSSAI license based on business size, and assist with applications for local health and trade licenses. Our expertise extends to navigating state-specific excise laws to secure liquor licenses and obtain permits for entertainment. We also provide counsel on critical commercial agreements, drafting and negotiating hotel management agreements and franchise agreements, while ensuring they are legally sound.

We also offer strategic advice on key legal areas that impact a hotel's day-to-day operations. We guide clients on their obligations under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, helping them manage guest data, obtain proper consent, and implement robust security measures to prevent breaches. Furthermore, we provide counsel on the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, assisting with the establishment of fair trade practices and grievance redressal mechanisms to handle consumer complaints effectively. Our expertise helps clients address issues related to misleading advertisements and deficiencies in service, ensuring their business is both legally compliant and reputable.
