CMX's Restaurant & Hospitality practice handles all aspects in the launching of a new restaurant or hospitality business.

Our experience and guidance is also invaluable in the acquisition of real estate, leasing of property, obtaining a liquor license, to aggressively defending litigation matters.  CMX lawyers assist in drafting, negotiating and closing acquisitions or dispositions, financing, franchising, management agreements, joint ventures and other restaurant and hospitality-related documents.  Additionally, our lawyers have significant experience in acquiring, selling, financing and refinancing restaurant and hospitality related businesses and given the increasing importance of data security to restaurant, and hospitality businesses, we help clients engage in data security risk management and post-breach investigations.
