Gonzalez Saggio & Harlan Launches Restaurant and Hospitality Law Practice

May 11, 2012

Gonzalez Saggio & Harlan is expanding its full menu of legal services to the restaurant and hospitality industries. We provide counsel from concept to creation, attuned to the industry’s legal issues, business operations, and competitive environment. We represent individual chefs, ranging from small local restaurants to James Beard Award winners and all sizes of restaurants, as well as corporate and franchised restaurant chains nationwide. We begin our relationship with confidentiality agreements so that chefs and creators feel secure that their concepts and creations are safe. Our attorneys counsel and provide advice on business formation; real estate transactions; menu structuring; venue, labor, and liquor permits; non-compete clauses; and shareholder and investor agreements. We have represented individual chefs, including celebrity and James Beard Award winning chefs in book, TV, and endorsement deals, and various licensing and franchising transactions. We also work closely with our service industry clients, including restaurants, hotels resorts, gaming, and entertainment facilities, keeping abreast of the latest changes affecting the hospitality industry nationwide and strive to provide innovative and proactive legal solutions to suit each client’s unique needs. Our attorneys have worked as both in-house counsel for restaurant management groups and serve as general corporate counsel to a major state restaurant association.
