Investor in the Acquisition of the Regent Brand April 26, 2010 - A number of years ago, JMBM's Global Hospitality Group® trademarked Global Hospitality Advisor® to reflect both the global and advisory nature of our focused hospitality practice. We are very proud to use it today with reference to Formosa International, a client we represented in signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of worldwide rights to the Regent brand and hotel business. We are currently representing 3 Asian investors on significant international transactions, and this is the first one we can disclose. We believe that this is part of a new wave of savvy Asian investment in the hospitality industry that will have exciting implications for the industry. The press release on the Regent deal is below. My partner, Catherine
Holmes, was the lead hotel lawyer on this transaction.
Jim Butler is a founding partner of JMBM and Chairman of its Global
Hospitality Group®. Jim is one of the top hospitality attorneys in
the world. GOOGLE "hotel lawyer" and you will see why. JMBM's troubled
asset team has handled more than 1,000 receiverships and many complex insolvency
issues. But Jim and his team are more than "just" great hotel lawyers.
They are also hospitality consultants and business advisors. For example,
they have developed some unique proprietary approaches to unlock value
in underwater hotels that can benefit lenders, borrowers and investors.
(GOOGLE "JMBM SAVE program".) Whether it is a troubled investment or new
transaction, JMBM's Global Hospitality Group® creates legal and business
solutions for hotel owners and lenders. They are deal makers. They can
help find the right operator or capital provider. They know who to call
and how to reach them. For more information, please contact Jim Butler
