The Litigation Travel Experts
Hotels for Trial is a division of Spear Travel Group, a luxury boutique travel agency led by President Ryan Spear. Founded in 2018 and based in South Orange, NJ, we serve trial teams nationwide with hotel sourcing and negotiation built specifically around the demands of litigation travel — last-minute changes, extended stays, and large group blocks.

Ryan brings over 25 years of hospitality and hotel sales experience to the firm, including more than a decade focused specifically on trial teams. That depth of relationships with major hotel brands and individual properties — combined with the buying power of our growing client base — gives every firm we work with a real advantage at the negotiating table.
Beyond hotels, we maintain strategic partnerships with litigation support vendors in logistics, technology, and equipment, offering seamless solutions tailored to each firm's needs. We look forward to joining your litigation team and providing travel expertise as a true competitive edge.
