Practice area
Hospitality
For restaurants, hotels, owners, operators, and investors: purchases and sales, licensing and management, leases, employment, vendor contracts, lending, and disputes.
Restaurants, hotels, owners, operators, investors, and capital partners bring legal work that rarely stays in one lane. Avid Legal handles it across purchases and sales, capital transactions, licensing and management arrangements, joint ventures, leases, employment matters, vendor contracts, lending, and disputes.
Hospitality matters often require several legal workstreams at once. A restaurant purchase may involve shareholder or operating agreements, investment documents, SBA or bank loans, lease issues, vendor contracts, employment questions, and post-closing operations.
The firm handles hospitality work alongside its corporate, real estate, lending, M&A, and dispute-resolution practices, with attorneys admitted in jurisdictions including Florida and New York.
