"At the Spring 2015 AHIA Meeting, I learned the specific interplay with the various players in the hotels such as owners, labor and management and how complex the contracts are. I do not deal with those on a regular basis but it gave me that working knowledge that allows me to be a better attorney for the clients. I simply understand their business better."
