Litigation: Hospitality

Stroock represents every segment of the hospitality industry, including owners, managers, investors, lenders, franchisors and franchisees.

Stroock attorneys have been actively representing clients in the acquisition, development and financing of full and limited service hotels.  Our expertise in the hospitality industry has developed over years of negotiating Management and Franchise Agreements with all of the major hotel chains.  Among our Cooperative and Condominium practice’s 200 clients are some of the nation’s most prominent luxury residences that maintain a hotel operation.

Our litigators have earned major victories for a variety of clients who are significant players in the hotel industry.  These include obtaining a landmark real estate tax decision on behalf of a hotel owner, and representing the prevailing lender in a case that confirmed the right of owners to terminate management companies.  Apart from accomplishments in the courtroom, our team is equally skilled in alternative dispute resolution and has decades of experience in arbitrating and mediating complex disputes to a successful conclusion.
