Yo Sushi! Moving at Speed

The team behind the work

As one of the forces for change in the restaurant sector YO! Sushi was always going to take a smart entrepreneurial approach to the challenges that have emerged from lockdowns and a recession. Supporting them during this period has played to our strengths. Take, for example, the moment when we found out on a Friday that we needed to review their leases across 60 sites in a week.

By Sunday that weekend we had developed a plan and mobilised our entire property team to race against the clock. Supported by our brilliant document centre, we had produced a clear report on all of the liabilities on past and present properties a week later. YO! were able to move at the pace their entrepreneurial approach and market pressure demands. That’s why they call us “their favourite property lawyer”!
