Our creative approach combines our practical knowledge of hospitality businesses with our honed legal expertise to help you build a business that is tailored to your vision and built to last.
Real Estate Services
Your establishment’s lease is one of the most important legal documents that you will sign during your restaurant’s lifetime. Helbraun Levey’s Real Estate Group has a team of attorneys who work collaboratively and creatively, with the commitment, resources and know-how, to negotiate the best lease for your business and get the deal done no matter the scope or level of complexity.
Litigation Services

In order to be successful, our attorneys work with our clients to develop a litigation strategy with an in-depth understanding of each client’s business goals, both short term and long term.
Employment Services
Developing clear employment practice policies is crucial to preventing — or minimizing the likelihood of — labor and employment problems within your business. Helbraun Levey has a dedicated team of attorneys and professionals that focus on Employment Practices and understand the complex issues that often arise in the hospitality industry.
Intellectual Property Services
Helbraun Levey’s Intellectual Property Group assists clients in developing and implementing brand protection strategies. Our approach is practical and proactive so that we can assist our clients to manage and mitigate risk before problems arise. Our attorneys are well-versed and experienced in establishing, protecting and defending trademark rights across the country. Our clients come to us with the most innovative concepts, and we view our role as helping to craft the law around our clients’ ideas and creativity, not vice versa.
Franchising Services
Making money in the hospitality industry has become more challenging over the past few years so owners have begun considering a franchising model as part of their portfolio. By adopting a franchise model for one of your brands, you can set up your hospitality business for exponential future growth. Expanding your company’s value through franchising your strong brand is a route every F&B should consider.

The current CPG market is broad enough to allow business owners to flex their creativity, and owners who are confident in their vision and smart in their execution can achieve real success in the highly competitive world of CPGs. We are here to partner with you through every step.
