beyond the legal opinion
Representing clients ranging from top-rated Portland restaurants to leading hotels and resorts, we understand the hospitality industry is closely tied to the ups and downs of the local and global economy, including the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. From owners, operators, and developers, to vendors and franchisees, we assist clients with the purchase, sale, and leasing of hotels and restaurants; employment matters; and the land use, development, and construction process.
With decades of industry-specific knowledge and experience, we are well positioned and impassioned to help our clients understand the complexities involved from a real estate transaction to an employee handbook and everything in between. Engaged in local trade associations and dialed in to the implications new laws have on this industry, our Hospitality team is well-versed in the often complex local, state, and federal legal and regulatory burdens placed on hospitality operators. We work in tandem with our clients to strategize and advise on how to maximize business opportunities and minimize legal liability.
