Your Partner for International Growth As a full-service law firm comprising more than 2,200 attorneys and other professionals across 36 offices – including key Latin America locations such as Bogotá, Mexico City and Monterrey – Holland & Knight has established long-term relationships with global law firms that can assist us in guiding clients in countries where we don't have a local office. This allows us to provide integrated, cross-border support wherever your business needs arise. Such global reach enables our International Restaurant Industry Team to collaborate seamlessly with regional colleagues on corporate, tax, labor, immigration, real estate, trade and operational issues that arise when entering or expanding within international markets. Whether you are evaluating a new market entry strategy, expanding your business, franchising abroad, acquiring a regional brand or navigating multicountry regulatory frameworks, our team delivers the cohesive, multijurisdictional representation essential for sustained international success.
Built for What's Next Restaurant and food retail companies entering or expanding in the U.S. need more than legal advisors – they need partners who understand the pace of the industry, nuances of crossborder growth and operational realities that shape day-to-day decision-making. Holland & Knight delivers on these key areas. With a global footprint, strong industry knowledge and a collaborative, client-focused approach, we are well suited to support international restaurant brands, regional chains and food retailers seeking strong, strategic, full-service legal counsel.
