In advising clients, we consider their business goals, objectives, and unique market position in the product and food supply chain including vendors that serve these industries. Business owners, developers, processors, packagers, and investors seek our counsel as they grow their businesses.
Our Retail & Hospitality attorneys assist with run-the-company problem solving and environmental matters, franchising opportunities, labor matters, international trade compliance, business restructuring, tax issues, intellectual property defense and prosecution, real estate transactions, and commercial litigation.
We frequently handle matters involving laws unique to individual jurisdictions, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or the Michigan Item Pricing Act.
From acquisition and development to operations and management, our Retail & Hospitality attorneys are complemented by cross-disciplinary support from colleagues throughout our firm. Whether developing a mixed-use project, refinancing a property, rebranding an asset, advising on the elements of a new hotel operation, or looking to expand a portfolio, we bring together attorneys from many practice areas to coordinate with our clients throughout the process.
