What you need to know
F.A.Q.
There truly is no catch as we get compensated in the form of a commission from our hotel partners based on the actualized rooms revenue.
No. Your firm or client would still contract directly with the hotel however, we are listed as an “agent” or “3rd party”. This confirms to the hotel you are aware we’re receiving a commission.
No, we have assisted with individual litigators all the way up to a team of 30-40 including support staff, working rooms and the lawyers.
This depends on the location and details of the requirements. We would discuss any limitations during the initial phase of research.
Absolutely not, in fact we often receive lower rates and better terms than the firm would directly due to our relationships, market data and expert negotiating.
We are at your disposal and are flexible to work with as many or as little matters as you like. The more work we do for a firm, the more efficient and effective we become.
We can negotiate rates and terms anywhere in the world, but specialize in the United States.
We are expert hotel negotiators, but we can also negotiate anything that is charged by the hotel – i.e. catering, internet, laundry, dry cleaning, parking, , porterage, transportation etc.
Through a strategic partnership with Aquipt, our clients have access to their premier legal technology solutions. In addition, we work closely with vendors you might use or are happy to recommend those we have experience with.
