Occasionally my work involves being a consultant and restaurant expert witness on different legal cases. It also allows me to better understand why foodservice businesses get sued and the types of situations that are most common. Armed with this knowledge, I have been better able to advise owners and operators on what to expect and how to avoid it. 

In this economy, many owners are turning to a lawyer and hotel motel consultant about canceling the management agreement when the hotel or resort is not performing according to plan. Worse, is if whatever gain is realized only benefits the operator, which can be the case if they have not invested any of their own money into the project or the brand is considered a weak performer in the marketplace.
