Food, Beverage & Hospitality
We employ a uniquely collaborative and cross-practice area approach.
Our Food, Beverage & Hospitality Group provides clients with broad and experienced counsel, in collaboration with our Corporate, Real Estate, Intellectual Property, and other practice groups.
Our attorneys guide clients smoothly through their investment and capital raising transactions; business development; expansion; restaurant openings and closings; joint ventures; and financing and reorganization transactions. We also provide expert counsel in the areas of literary and television rights transactions; merchandizing; theft of ideas; intellectual property and licensing; unfair competition; privacy and publicity rights; advertising issues; as well as news and entertainment content.
We understand the unique needs of the well-known restaurant professional.
We bring our considerable experience to the negotiation of restaurant and retail leases and purchase agreements; ground leases; as well as the negotiated purchase of properties out of bankruptcy. Our legal counsel also encompasses contracting; employment and human resources; and arbitration and mediation – all also key to the hospitality arena.
We address the areas of concern of many successful restaurateurs and “celebrity” chefs, and anyone who becomes well-known and successful due in large part to their personal brand.
Representative clients include Rachael Ray (Watch Enterprises); Momofuku Holdings (David Chang); Adam Perry Lang; The Red Cat; Jean-Georges Vongerichten; Abigail Kirsch, Inc.; Jonathan Benno; Ed Brown (“81”); as well as Dallas BBQ; The Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Company; Coach Farm Enterprises (maker of Coach Farm® cheese); and Best Cheese, among many other well known chefs, restaurateurs, food and beverage clients, and hospitality groups.
