A Law Firm Facilitating the Goals of the Hospitality Industry

Providing effective representation to clients in the hospitality industry requires an in-depth understanding of many intertwining areas of law, including real estate, business, contracts, torts, and tax.  The lawyers of Miller Law Group, P.C. have a thorough understanding of hospitality law.  We appreciate the risks, as well as the potential rewards, inherent to complex, large-scale enterprises.  We represent numerous hotel buyers in property acquisitions.  We assist our clients with negotiation and documentation of equity, conventional and conduit debt, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) lease financings.

Our attorneys know when hotel litigation is necessary and possess the technical knowledge and strategic ability to handle multi-faceted projects involving hospitality industry law.  An interfacing business structure demands a legal framework that preserves the separate components of the organizational scheme, while also creating a cohesive governance system.  Our hospitality attorneys have advised hospitality developers as they acquired sites and built hotels in mixed-use developments, including a 4-star boutique hotel.  In addition, we represent many prospective franchisees in negotiating franchise agreements and obtaining waivers and deferred implementation from mandated programs.  We also help clients in timing the implementation of property improvement programs.

Once a project is underway, Miller Law Group attorneys counsel hotel developers in construction contract negotiations and documentation, assessing each transaction with diligence and foresight.  We also represent hotel owners entering into supplier and operational service agreements, making sure that contracts protect the interests of our clients.  If litigation is necessary, our attorneys work to mitigate the effect of litigation on your productivity and reputation.
