Hospitality
Hotels, restaurants and leisure — management agreements, franchising and the licensing behind them.
International hospitality brands typically enter Bangladesh through management or franchise arrangements with a local owner. The documentation has to work alongside property title, licensing from tourism and local authorities, and royalty remittance approvals.
We act for brand owners, owners and operators on development, management and franchise arrangements and on the regulatory steps that follow.
