Transaction-Focused

Our Hospitality Practice represents clients in all areas of the hospitality business. Whether a transaction involves a single hotel, a 2,000-acre resort development, or the financing of a nationwide property portfolio, we have successfully guided clients through those and many similar transactions.

Industry Knowledge

Our lawyers have real-world experience from within the hospitality industry. We protect our clients’ interests and understand what is “market” for transactions, even when the market is changing. Hospitality transactions require a unique and learned skill set; they are not just real estate transactions, but also involve a business with complicated industry norms and practices. We understand those norms and practices, ensure they are followed, and, in turn, help add credibility to our clients’ transaction team. Our deep-rooted experience allows us to foresee and resolve issues. We bring a practiced eye and a thorough approach; we are proactive rather than reactive.

Interdisciplinary

Attorneys in our Hospitality Practice act as a single point of contact to the firm’s wide range of legal services. When necessary, we create multidisciplinary teams to handle complex matters. We also work with our clients’ legal, finance and business teams to help our clients manage matters and maximize efficiencies. Through our team approach, we are focused on achieving our clients’ business and legal objectives.
