Baltimore, MD business lawyer Michael Hourigan talks about the resources and experience his firm brings to the hospitality industry. He shares that since the inception of the firm, he has represented hotel management companies, providing comprehensive support for a wide range of legal needs. Much of this work involves receivership law and franchise law, including handling disputes that arise with hotel owner clients. Often, hotel owners are required—by lenders or franchise agreements—to engage a management company, even if they would prefer not to. In these situations, he assists in managing those relationships, ensuring compliance with franchise agreements, addressing premises liability matters, and providing guidance in other areas critical to the hotel management company’s operations.
