Leaders in hospitality law

Hospitality and tourism are vital to our economic success, both nationally and internationally, while paving the way for good times, relaxation and fun. However, pressure from disruptive players such as Airbnb and TripAdvisor, a squeeze on investments and licensing matters continue to challenge the industry.
