Hospitality & Leisure

Baker Sterchi has extensive experience representing businesses in the hospitality and leisure industries, bringing its incisive legal judgment to a broad range of issues that our clients encounter. We represent national hotel and fitness chains, amusement parks and entertainment centers, national and regional restaurant chains, taverns, and other local businesses engaged in the hospitality and leisure industries.

Handling claims ranging from pest infestation and service of alcohol to premises liability and product liability, Baker Sterchi draws on talent across our firm’s practice groups to successfully defend clients in the hospitality and leisure industries.

Other representative matters include alleged violations of various consumer protection acts, franchising, premises security, and commercial claims. Additionally, our firm defends industry clients in a full complement of employment-related claims, from drafting employer policy manuals and non-compete agreements to wrongful termination disputes and sexual harassment suits.

Our firm has a strong presence within ALFA International’s Hospitality Practice Group, where our attorneys serve on the practice group’s Steering Committee and routinely speak at seminars for in-house counsel of major hotels and other hospitality and leisure clients on key liability issues.
