You are the General Counsel or the outside counsel to a hotel or restaurant brand. Your client informs you that the company intends to purchase multiple units of additional properties in several different states. Your head spins, full of questions. Will it be an asset sale or stock purchase? Will we retain the employees? Will we rebrand the property to our own brand, keep the existing brand, or designate a third brand?

Large and even medium scale acquisitions in the hospitality industry trigger these important legal questions and more. Sometimes, however, the dealmakers overlook or delay one critical area: alcohol service! How will we make sure the hotel or restaurant will be able to serve alcohol on Day One?

Careful planning and precise timing are critical.

More Employers Were "ICED" In Fiscal Year 2018
December 17, 2018 via Foley & Lardner

In FY 2018, 6,848 worksite investigations were initiated, representing a fourfold increase from the prior fiscal year. Similarly, ICE conducted 5,981 audits of employers’ Form I-9s, which is five times the number from the prior year. Criminal and worksite arrests were also way up and readers will recall that immigration law violations are one of the few areas of employment law which can result in direct criminal prosecution.
