Representing Clients throughout the Hospitality Industry
Hotels and other companies operating in the hospitality industry face numerous challenges, including expanding laws and regulations impacting their day-to-day and long term business operations. The attorneys at KDV counsel hospitality clients across the U.S. and around the globe. Our client base is diverse and includes one of the world’s leading hotel franchises. We have defended claims brought by night auditors, banquet servers, bartenders, housekeepers and guests involving employment law and Title III ADA access claims. Our lawyers also represent private associations and clubs that provide hospitality services (food and beverage) for their members.
KDV attorneys are well-recognized throughout the industry for their business acumen and litigation experience. Our lawyers are seasoned litigators who are fully prepared to take a case through trial and appeal. We have tried to verdict numerous premises liability claims on behalf of hotels, including claims involving assaults, slip and falls, and battery, as well as inadequate security, lighting, and negligent hiring and supervision. Our attorneys also have significant experience handling all aspects of labor and employment law matters, ranging from collective bargaining, NLRB proceedings, union arbitrations and grievances to employment discrimination, workplace harassment and wage and hour compliance.
KDV’s legal team is focused on helping our hospitality industry clients develop creative strategies that achieve results. We take the time to understand our clients’ goals and expectations and work together as a team to build strong and lasting business partnerships.
