What We Do

Every legal need of a hospitality business, under one roof.

Our attorneys and multi-disciplinary team work side-by-side to handle the specialized needs of hotel, restaurant, and development companies — quickly understanding your goals because it’s the only industry we practice in.

Licensing & Regulatory

Liquor license applications, renewals, transfers, and defense before licensing boards and city regulators.

Finance & Development

Structuring, financing, and acquiring hotel and mixed-use projects, including troubled-asset repositioning.

Employment & Labor

Wage-and-hour, tip pooling, staffing, and disputes tailored to a high-turnover hospitality workforce.

Litigation & Disputes

Arbitrating, litigating, and resolving disputes — turning operational disadvantage into advantage.

Trademark & Brand

Trademark protection, brand agreements, and franchise offerings for operators ready to grow.

Franchise & Management

Franchisor and franchisee representation, management contracts, and operator relationships.

"They understand a Friday-night emergency isn't a Monday-morning problem."

Firm Profile

Hospitality isn't a practice group here. It's the whole firm.

Founded in 1987, InnCounsel has represented hotels, restaurants, and hospitality companies exclusively for nearly four decades. Our highly regarded industry attorneys lead an interdisciplinary team to deliver cost-effective, industry-informed counsel for local, regional, national, and international hospitality companies.

We speak the language of operators, landlords, licensing boards, and city inspectors — and we’ve built relationships across all of them. Because hospitality never sleeps, most of our new work comes by referral from the venues we already serve.

Principal Industry Attorneys

Experienced advocates you'll actually work with.

Clients reach a principal directly — every matter is led by an attorney who already knows the hospitality industry.
