Overview
The kitchens and offices of restaurants operate in a variety of styles, but “slow-paced” is not among them; crises may erupt at any moment. Our attorneys – in addition to providing prompt guidance and counsel – also take the time to understand the unique culture of each of their client’s restaurants, whether a local establishment or national franchise.
Our hospitality group has helped entrepreneurs through the opening phase of their restaurants, as well as guiding and advising them each step of the way.
For a number of our clients, we provide all-encompassing outside counsel legal services, working with owners so they can focus on running their business and maximizing their profits. We work closely with clients undergoing regulatory and environmental audits and defend them before the New York State Department of Health's Bureau of Community Environmental Health and Food Protection. Our litigation team can be ready to act on your behalf against any undesirable decisions or defense of other cases before the courts. We also advise on the myriad of employment issues that restaurant owners face every day, including wage order matters, employee benefits or workplace health and safety issues, to name a few. We are also thought leaders, lecturing on a nearly weekly basis, as well as authoring an award-winning blog on labor and employment law.
