G6 Hospitality, parent company of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands, has launched a legal support hotline in partnership with the Texas Hotel & Lodging Association for G6 franchisees across Texas. Franchisees can access immediate legal guidance from the three THLA staff attorneys who manage the dedicated legal support hotline. The hotline will operate Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CT. Callers will also be able to leave messages on the legal support hotline 24/7, and the THLA staff lawyers will return calls promptly during regular business hours.
This new initiative aims to give Texas Motel 6 and Studio 6 franchisees direct on-demand access to address legal and regulatory issues that they face every day such as the increasing complexity around compliance with federal, state and local laws; workplace and guest safety protocols; and management of property-related risks that, if not addressed, can present larger operational challenges. Additionally, the guidance by THLA lawyers can help franchisees make informed decisions and operate with greater confidence. THLA's legal team also maintains an online library of legal resources that is now available to member franchisees.
“This hotline addresses a need that has long existed for independent hotel owners, which is consistent, timely access to legal expertise on the issues that matter most to their business,” Ankit Tandon, vice chairman, G6 Hospitality, said in a statement. “Through our partnership with THLA, G6 Hospitality is ensuring that every Texas franchisee, regardless of the size of their operation, has the same quality of legal counsel and support as the largest hospitality companies in the state. This is what it means to invest in our franchisee partners."
“This hotline reflects what our partnership with G6 is built on: real answers to real legal questions, from the THLA lawyers who know Texas lodging law inside and out,” said Scott Joslove, president and chief executive officer, Texas Hotel & Lodging Association.
The hotline launch follows a series of joint initiatives between G6 Hospitality and THLA, including a safety and security seminar for the franchisees and proactive engagement with police departments across Texas including Dallas, San Antonio and Fort Worth to boost the safety and security of network hotels.
