Hospitality
Certain types of business and legal challenges are particularly prevalent in the hospitality industry: development funding, wage and hour and discrimination, and trade secret disputes, to name a few. These challenges can become especially acute in a downturned economy where revenues within the industry have seen record declines and where a poorly constructed contract or being on the losing side of a dispute can cost thousands, or in some cases millions.
