About

With 83 hotels spread across three continents, Mövenpick relies on a small but respected legal team to help it implement global strategy and find commercial and practical solutions to legal issues it faces. With a small team of three lawyers, the company has been able to find ways to comply with ever changing regulations and build its focus on increasingly important areas such as data protection. Mövenpick is rapidly expanding and secured one new property each month last year, growing its hotel portfolio by 15% and adding over 4,000 rooms to its inventory in high-growth markets across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Mövenpick legal team oversees the development deal process from term sheet stage until the hotel opens to the public, making sure that obligations are met and standards are adhered to. Led by David Weir, senior legal counsel Middle East, Africa and Asia, the team has empowered non-legal staff within the company to carry out basic legal functions. According to legal counsel Christian Muller, the team has achieved this by ‘delivering training sessions to employees on contract review and management, teaching them what to look out for and how to become more effective negotiators’. This not only enhances employee skill-sets, but allows the legal team to prioritise more efficiently and concentrate time and resources on more material matters.
