This program, presented by Greenberg Traurig partner Nelson Migdal, provides an introduction to Management Agreements and Franchise Agreements in the hospitality industry today. It is intended to be a practical guide to the issues that face lawyers and industry leaders working in the hospitality field, and to develop a deeper understanding of the Manager-Owner and Franchisor-Franchisee relationship and the complexities of these relationships that dominate the hotel industry.
The subject matter is approached from the perspective of the transactional practitioner, while examining the multi-party relationships and agreements among the parties to hotel related transactions.
Learning Objectives:
I. Understand the players active in the hospitality industry today
II. Explore the industry fundamentals that are the foundation for the relationships of the parties
III. Differentiate between the Management Agreement relationships and Franchise Agreement relationships
IV. Learn about the most recent so-called “Midnight Raid” cases and the impact on Management Agreements
