MARRIOTT EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY, CONSULTING & TESTIFYING SERVICES

A Marriott expert witness testimony advisor in the hotel industry offers knowledge in legal cases involving hotels, resorts, and hospitality businesses. Testifying consultants lend their expertise to a wide range of cases as a Marriott expert witness offering input into operations, standards, and best practices in the hotel sector.

1. Contractual Disputes
   Consultants address cases involving breaches of contract, such as disputes between hotel operators, owners, or service providers. For a Marriott expert witness, that includes evaluating franchise agreements, management contracts, and terms of service to determine if one party failed to meet their obligations.
2. Property Liability and Personal Injury Claims
   Hotels face risks related to accidents on their premises. And so Marriott expert witnesses provide insight into property maintenance standards, safety protocols, and legal obligations. Cases could involve slip-and-fall accidents, pool-related injuries, or failure to secure a hotel’s premises.
3. Employment and Labor Disputes
   Also properties face legal challenges related to employee rights, including wage disputes, discrimination claims, and wrongful termination cases. Marriott expert witnesses may evaluate compliance with labor laws, the handling of employee benefits, and internal HR practices.
4. Hotel Valuation and Financial Disputes
   In cases related to hotel sales or mergers, a Marriott expert witness analyzes the financial performance and valuation of hotel properties. That involves understanding revenue management, operational costs, and profitability to determine whether a hotel’s valuation was accurate or misleading in a financial dispute.
5. Intellectual Property and Brand Protection
   Marriott expert witnesses also assist in intellectual property cases, including trademark disputes, brand infringements, and unauthorized use of proprietary information. As Marriott and other hotel chains protect their trademarks, an expert witness evaluates the case’s merits, considering brand identity, loyalty programs, and intellectual property law.
