Liquor and Hospitality

Many issues can arise in connection with businesses in this field. In contracts for a sale or purchase, specific clauses may be needed to cover things like:

• stock valuations;
• employee qualifications such as RSA,
• liquor licence transfers
• supplier contracts
• restraints of trade or ‘non-compete’ clauses

Food or liquor outlets often trade from leased premises and careful thought must be given to the relationship between clauses in a lease, and clauses in the contract for the sale or purchase of the business.
