Description
The session will examine the common considerations in hotel acquisition transactions on a cross-jurisdictional basis. In addition, the session will discuss some key elements and pit falls to consider in select jurisdictions. Generally, the session will focus on the potential considerations of a target hospitality operating asset that may arise or continue between signing and closing and how such considerations, risks and liabilities should be addressed by potential buyers and sellers in drafting the PSA; including governing brand relationships (management and franchise), employment considerations, underlying asset real estate considerations; mixed use and common area considerations, pre-existing liability, physical structural maintenance and repair issues, guest data protection exposure and intellectual property considerations.
