Hospitality Litigation Support

Expertise the Courtroom Can Rely On

Hospitality disputes turn on questions most general real estate experts cannot answer with authority: how hotels are valued as operating businesses, what constitutes standard operating practice, whether a market could support a proposed project, and how franchise and management relationships allocate risk. Retaining an expert with direct hotel ownership, operations, and transaction experience matters to the outcome.

We provide hospitality litigation support and expert witness services for matters throughout Missouri and the Midwest, as well as nationally — for counsel representing owners, lenders, partners, and estates.

Litigation Services Include

• Expert witness testimony: hospitality asset valuation, standard operating practices, market feasibility, fiduciary duty
• Forensic valuations for partnership disputes, commercial litigation, and eminent domain
• Bankruptcy and restructuring support: valuation, cash collateral, and post-default performance analysis
• Case consulting and rebuttal analysis
