Hospitality

Your goal is to offer the best to your guests; let Offit Kurman ensure that you plan for the issues they can’t see, so you can focus on everything they can.

You want to focus on your business, and time spent worrying about legal exposure is time lost. Let us give that time back to you. The attorneys in our Hospitality Group are well-versed on the industry. We provide legal guidance on current and pressing issues, while also preparing you for what is coming next. Often, we are intimately involved in shaping the legislation that may impact your business. Thanks to our deep industry knowledge, we can offer not only compliant, but workable solutions.

Of all the challenges that may keep you up at night, we make sure legal exposure isn’t one of them.

We provide the support for your vision and growth.

Offit Kurman provides real estate and transactional services for businesses in the hospitality industry. We have deep experience handling real estate transactions and hotel acquisitions. Our team is also well-versed in assisting with all franchise related needs including franchise agreements, disclosure documents, registrations and renewals and expansion. And Offit Kurman’s geographic footprint from New York to the Carolinas allows us convenient access to our clients’ locations.

We assist clients in implementing policies and procedures in compliance with various federal regulations and agency guidelines, including TRID, Qualified Mortgage Rules, HUD FHA Mortgagee guidelines, RESPA Anti-Kickback provisions, FCRA and FACTA Act requirements, FinCen Anti-Money Laundering requirements and Privacy rules. We also develop and review disclosures, policies, and procedures to comply with state consumer protection and mortgage banking requirements.

We help protect what makes you unique.

Our attorneys can assist with all aspects of your intellectual property. Innovation and protection of your concepts are a large part of what sets you and your brand apart from the competition. Our attorneys can guide you through intellectual property selection and clearing, registration and maintenance, as well as enforcement and defense of intellectual property rights. This includes trademark protection and enforcement, trade dress and copyrights in the U.S. and abroad.

Our attorneys know that litigation is far more sophisticated than how hard you can pound on a table. We commit to not just aggressively fighting for you but doing it in a way that is always strategic and effective. Collectively, we have experience in nearly every jurisdiction or forum in which you may find yourself. In addition, we have extensive experience with single-plaintiff and class actions, as well as arbitrations and before administrative agencies. With respect to litigation, we are mindful of your time and resources – acting with precision, we consistently get positive results.
