Overview

The defense attorneys at Shuman McCuskey Slicer PLLC  know how important reputation is in the retail, restaurant, and hospitality industries. These industries can be unpredictable, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian Highland regions. It is lucrative to have a legal plan ready due to the susceptibility to lawsuits and litigation when opening your doors to the public. Our attorneys understand taking legal action is never a desired path as it can harm reputation, and ultimately distracts and takes precious time away from your day-to-day operations. When legal action is unavoidable, our attorneys are equipped with years of experience representing a variety of retail, restaurant, and travel operators. We want our clients to avoid litigation and will use all forms of alternative dispute resolution when possible. We are always prepared, however, to aggressively defend a client at trial if previous settlement attempts do not prove successful.

Our Retail, Restaurant & Hospitality Law team has defended clients across a wide variety of claims, including accusations against hotel operators, developers and management companies, grocery store owners, retail establishments, and aviation operators. Shuman McCuskey Slicer PLLC  also defends these industries against slip-and-fall incidents, injuries that occur due to equipment malfunction, and alcohol-influenced matters. 

As an inherently collaborative law firm, our Retail, Restaurant, and Hospitality Law team will work with experienced attorneys from other practice groups to ensure a comprehensive defense is tailored to our client’s individual needs.
