Lara Shortz’s article, “Top 6 Legal Trends Facing Hoteliers in 2017,” was published in Hotel News Now on January 20, 2017.
From the article…
“It is safe to say that President Donald Trump has more knowledge of the hotel business and a greater stake in the hospitality industry than any president in United States history. This first-hand hotel experience, coupled with his pro-business rhetoric, anti-regulatory cabinet, a Republican Congress and a slew of upcoming appointments, likely means that 2017 will bring a substantial easing of the regulatory burden presently affecting hoteliers at the federal level.
But this comes with a big caveat. Activist state and local governments will likely want to fill in any perceived regulatory or enforcement vacuum with their own rules and create an increasingly patchwork set of regulations with which hoteliers must contend.”
Lara A. Shortz’ article, “Suitable seating laws: Do not read while standing” was published in Hotel News Now on May 23, 2017.
From the article . . .
“Picture this: a grand and bustling hotel lobby bathed in light, impeccably designed and furnished with beautiful seating areas where guests lounge and enjoy. Adjacent to the stunning lobby, and just steps from the hotel’s entrance, is the busy front desk, staffed by attentive, smartly dressed employees answering questions, checking guests into rooms and otherwise accommodating all those who approach them.
Noticeably absent from anywhere behind the front desk, however, is a place for these employees to sit. And while it is no surprise that the hotel staff is not provided with plush chairs and couches like those adorning the lobby, the lack of suitable seating could raise red flags given the California Supreme Court’s relatively recent clarification of the issue in Kilby v CVS Pharmacy. That lawsuit, brought on behalf of pharmacy cashiers and bank tellers, alleged that CVS violated certain California wage orders issued by the California Industrial Welfare Commission.”

“In recent years, there has been a flood of private equity (PE) investment into the addiction treatment community, fueled in large part by the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that health plans cover treatment for substance abuse disorders, including for those patients with pre-existing conditions.

Below are 10 things private equity groups look at to ensure a significant return on their investment in the addiction treatment sector.”
