Restaurant Industry Team
Holland & Knight's Restaurant Industry Team comprises a multidisciplinary group of attorneys with deep experience navigating the full landscape of the restaurant and food retail sectors. Serving as a comprehensive resource, we counsel clients on alcohol regulatory and enforcement, transactions, intellectual property (IP), regulatory compliance, franchising, real estate, private equity, construction and day‑to‑day operational challenges.
Deep Industry Knowledge
Several of our lawyers have served in house with major restaurant brands or as outside counsel to well known chains, giving clients the benefit of real world experience and the breadth of a full service law firm. Integrating strong industry insight with practical business considerations, we partner closely with our clients to help protect their operations, maintain continuity and support growth in a dynamic, highly regulated marketplace. We are available for fractional in house or outside counsel secondments.
360-Degree Approach
We support clients from initial concept through growth and expansion, offering strategic guidance on partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, franchising, leasing and investment opportunities. By anticipating market trends and regulatory shifts – such as labor and employment requirements, food safety and ingredient standards – we deliver proactive advice that drives efficiency and helps position clients for long term success.
