Wandering Thru the Permit “Woods?”
Depend on JMBM to Navigate You
Through Your Local, State & Federal Laws

 
Are you or your general managers spending quality time on naggingly complex administrative & regulatory issues?  Have you “thrown in the towel” when dealing with those seemingly impenetrable government bureaucracies? 

JMBM’s Government Practice Group helps our hospitality clients navigate the complexities of local, state and federal laws, such as:
 

Who guides your F&B operation through the maze of local health department and state liquor licensing agencies?
What do you do when the agency says “No!”?
How does your construction team maneuver through the seemingly contradictory building codes?
Who is on your side when you are negotiating the best price for a block purchase of energy?
Due to a recent acquisition, what reflagging issues are you facing with planning commissions?

JMBM’s Government Practice Group offers comprehensive expertise, advice and client representation in the inter-related areas of land use, government regulation, environment, utilities, telecommunications and energy law. 

Recognizing that the ever-changing regulatory and utility environment is significantly impacting our clients and their businesses, the Firm recently added Ed O’Neill to the Government Practice Group.” 

O’Neill served 20 years with the California Public Utilities Commission, last as the Assistant General Counsel in charge of energy issues.  With hotel utility costs totaling $1330 per room on average — or nearly 4% of total revenue* — the depth of O’Neill’s expertise is exactly what hotel companies need now.
