Hotel Lawyer: JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® announces publication of The HMA Handbook, a practical guide for negotiating Hotel Management Agreements for Hotel Owners, Developers, Investors and Lenders

LOS ANGELES–The Global Hospitality Group® of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (JMBM) today announced the release of The HMA Handbook, Hotel Management Agreements for Owners, Developers, Investors & Lenders. This e-book is a practical guide for decision makers who want pragmatic advice from veterans with business and legal perspectives on getting great hotel operators, negotiating a fair hotel management agreement (HMA), and terminating a bad one when the operator deserves it..

Co-authored by JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® Chairman, Jim Butler, and Partner and Senior Member of the Group, Robert E. Braun, The HMA Handbook draws on articles from JMBM’s Hotel Law Blog and is the second book in JMBM’s “We Wrote the Book” series. In the book’s Foreword, James J. Eyster, professor emeritus of hotel finance and real estate at Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration refers to the authors as lawyers who “work at the highest levels and cutting edge of the industry”.

Important message about liability to hotel investors acquiring hotel assets and hotel owners renegotiating agreements with their operators:

Your hotel operator has most likely included indemnification provisions in the Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) designed to limit their liability for operating your hotel. On your operator’s draft of the HMA, it’s a good bet that a provision limiting YOUR liability does not exist in the agreement.

Don’t you think the liability limitations should be mutual? Here’s how to do it: the “”exculpation clause.”

Hotel Lawyer with more advice on Hotel Management Agreements, focusing on critical budget provisions.

For more than 20 years, the hotel lawyers of JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® have negotiated, renegotiated, litigated, arbitrated and advised hotel owners on more than 1,000 hotel management agreements. Negotiating the hotel management agreement (or HMA) is one of the most important things hotel owners will ever do for their hotel investment. A good HMA can add significant value to a hotel property – and a bad one can detract significant value, as well.

The HMA Handbook is coming soon! We think that the HMA is so important, that our next book in the “We Wrote the Book” series will focus entirely on the hotel management agreement and will include the many critical components needed to achieving an HMA that is good for the owner as well as the operator. We have included numerous articles on hotel management agreements in the Hotel Law Blog over the years (Click here to access all of them), but this is the first article we have presented on HMA budget provisions. You won’t want to miss it.

Terminology

Contracts between hotel owners and managers (or operators) controlling the management of a hotel go by various names. They are called hotel management agreements, HMAs, hotel management contracts or hotel operating agreements. For convenient reference, this article will generally use the term “Hotel Management Agreement” or “HMA.” However all these terms can be used interchangeably and mean the same thing, just as with hotel operator or hotel manager.

Whatever they are called, Hotel Management Agreements allocate risk between the hotel manager and the hotel owner. They are critical in determining the profitability and value of a hotel.

Hotel Lawyer with a big tip on how to get a great hotel operator and a fair hotel management agreement — Why Hotel Owners Need HMA PRO™
For more than 20 years, hotel lawyers at JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® have helped hotel owners find the best hotel operators for their properties and get fair hotel management agreements. Our clients get better results because of our experience gained in negotiating, re-negotiating, litigating, arbitrating and advising on more than 1,000 hotel management agreements and more than $87 billion of hotel transactions.

Our experience has has taught us that the traditional Request for Proposal or RFP process used to get hotel operators is too passive and ineffective. By its very nature, a “mere” RFP suggests that the owner should just wait for whatever an operator might propose, and that is simply not in the best interest of either the owner or the prospective operator.
HMA PRO™ is JMBM’s ultimate refinement of the old standby RFP. We started with the typical hotel industry RFP process still used by knowledgeable hotel consultants today, but we made some critical changes that have produced stunning results for our clients, greatly enhancing the value of the owner’s hotel.
Here’s how it works . . .

Hotel Lawyer with some practical tips on hotel management contract performance standards. Interest has recently spiked in getting new hotel management agreements (HMAs) or re-negotiating existing ones. It seems that some investors buying distressed properties are looking to rebrand and get new hotel operators. Some lenders are too as they take over troubled assets.

That makes this seem like a good time to remind everyone about the wealth of information on this subject at www.HotelLawBlog.com, particularly at Hotel Management Agreements.

Ask the Hotel Lawyer™: What can we learn from the bedbug story? Bedbugs have plagued the hospitality industry for centuries and seem to be making a resurgence.

But there is an iconic story about a “bedbug letter” which is also instructive on the importance of treating people with respect and dignity, and the embarrassment (and financial costs) “important people” can cause to their colleagues and their companies when they forget these lessons.

Here’s the story, as told by Hotel Lawyer Robert Braun for www.HotelLawBlog.com readers, and a real life lesson from last week.
