Operators - UK holidays

We have worked with operators of UK holidays for several decades and act for the largest businesses in this specialist sector, each with its own unique issues.

As a large and experienced team, we are able to provide clients with expert legal advice on all aspects of their businesses; from advising on employment and commercial agreements, to providing assistance on how to deal with injuries, fatalities and large scale virus outbreaks.

The team is headed by industry expert David Scott, and is responsible for most of the case law in this sector, including numerous Court of Appeal cases, for example, Tedstone -v- Bourne Leisure Ltd and Bourne Leisure Ltd -v- Marsden.

We run bespoke training courses and conferences for clients in this sector, as well as open events which are available to all operators and their insurers. To view all our forthcoming training courses, seminars and events, please see our events calendar.
