8th Annual Restaurant Legal Summit

The 8th Annual Restaurant Legal Summit, hosted by the Restaurant Law Center, will take place from October 23-25 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The event brings together chief legal officers, attorneys, and human resource professionals from the restaurant industry. Attendees will network with senior representatives from top brands, learn about current legal trends and best practices from leading law firms, and earn CLE, SHRM, and HRCI credit hours through various sessions. Greenberg Traurig Shareholders Landes Taylor and Jonathan Bing will speak on Thursday October 24th at 8:45-9:45 am AST. The session titled "Unfit to be Tied: The Tied House Law and Recent Developments in State Restaurant Law," addresses the challenges posed by Prohibition-era Tied House Laws. These laws restrict companies involved in alcohol manufacturing or wholesaling from participating in the retail sector, impacting restaurant industry transactions. As more brands expand in the U.S., these laws complicate deals. The panel, featuring Landes Taylor and Jonathan L. Bing, will explore strategies for navigating these regulations and discuss recent legal developments in New York and California affecting the restaurant industry.
