Jones Day, CMS Cameron McKenna and Linklaters have taken lead roles on the restructuring and pre-pack administration of Jarvis Hotels by Royal Bank of Scotland's distressed property unit and buyout firm Patron Capital.

The deal, worth around £111m, saw Jupiter Hotels Group, a joint venture between RBS and Patron acquire the majority of Jarvis's hotel portfolio following a debt restructuring.

Jones Day advised longstanding client Jarvis on the restructuring and pre-pack, with London restructuring partners Kay Morley and Giles Elliott leading.

Jupiter turned to CMS, where London corporate partner Louise Wallace and real estate partner Sally Badham advised on the acquisition.

Linklaters meanwhile advised a syndicate of lenders providing debt finance comprising RBS, HSBC and Bank of Ireland, the original lenders to Jarvis Group. The magic circle firm fielded a team led by restructuring partners Rebecca Jarvis, Tony Bugg and associate Paul Apathy.

Debt finance is being provided by a syndicate of lenders comprising RBS, HSBC and Bank of Ireland, the original lenders to Jarvis Group. Malcolm Shierson and Daniel Smith of Grant Thornton were appointed as joint administrators to various companies in the Jarvis Group, and were advised by a London-based team at SNR Denton.

Jupiter Hotels will run the hotels under the Accor Mercure hotel brand.

Morley said: "The sale of the Jarvis Group will result in a substantial part of its hotel business and assets being transferred as a going concern to Jupiter Hotels. In the circumstances, this is a positive outcome for the business and its employees, the majority of which will be transferred to the purchaser."
