We have a special focus on real estate, development, design and construction work, hotel management agreements and operational contract work in the hospitality context, with a deep understanding of the different roles and relationships between owner/developers, operators and managers, brands, lenders, franchisees, franchisors, fractional/whole ownership/time share unit owners, licensees, tenants, service providers and guests. Our legal work is informed by an appreciation of the needs and expectations of these unique stakeholders, and the business of the property itself and the amenities and services it provides. In the mixed use context in particular, we review offering plans and related documentation for national and foreign mixed-use projects on behalf of hotel owners, managers and franchisors, with a particular focus on hotel brand protection and facilitation of hotel and residential association management issues.
