The National Restaurant Association has formed the Restaurant Law Center, which will provide legal advocacy on behalf of the restaurant industry on a local, state, and federal level.

“The restaurant industry has been participating in legal battles on behalf of restaurant owners and employees for years,” stated Angelo Amador, executive director of the Restaurant Law Center. “But as these fights become more and more prevalent, we must have the legal means and an apparatus to push back against outside groups that threaten the jobs and economic growth the restaurant industry creates, as well as to protect and advance the industry. The Restaurant Law Center will streamline the industry’s ability to engage in legal proceedings and to seek just outcomes.”
