We know hospitality from the inside out. Our lawyers don’t just advise hotel and restaurant clients from a distance—we walk the back-of-house corridors, observe service in real time, and understand how properties operate, day and night. That kind of immersive approach allows us to offer legal counsel that’s not just technically sound, but operationally intuitive.

Michelman Robinson represents stakeholders across the hospitality ecosystem—hotels, resorts, restaurants, owners, operators, and management companies—on the issues that matter most to their businesses. Our cross-disciplinary team handles employment law (from workforce structuring and wage & hour compliance to executive transitions and high-stakes litigation), corporate and real estate transactions, branding, franchise and management agreements, data security, and more. When disputes arise, we bring a seasoned litigation team ready to resolve matters efficiently and decisively, including class actions and PAGA claims.

With hospitality evolving at a rapid pace, our lawyers stay on top of the trends, regulations, and business dynamics shaping the industry. That deep sector engagement, combined with a practical, hands-on understanding of hospitality operations, is what makes MR a trusted partner to some of the most recognized brands in the space.
