Join The Happy Hour Show as Spiritus Law’s Rob Lewis and Nico Romano, along with guest speaker Jessica Gollel of Gollel Family Properties, LLC, discuss the growing popularity of food halls in the hospitality industry. Topics covered in this segment include the alcohol and real estate regulations surrounding these properties. Jessica will add her insight to assist those looking to break into this market in South Florida as she is currently doing, involving what to consider regarding trendy design aspects, techniques, operating suggestions, vendor responsibilities, and more! 

In this episode, The Happy Hour Show's host,  Marbet and Robert Lewis, are joined by Eric Diaz Padron, the millennial Mayor of the City of West Miami, to discuss how Millennials (born between 1977 and 1996) and Gen Z-ers (born between 1996 and 2009) are forever changing the alcohol industry one sip at a time!

 Very different from their older counterparts, both generations have embraced a more sober and healthy lifestyle causing a sharp shift causing alcohol products and brands to revamp efforts. Millennials and Gen Z will be the most significant percentage of the population, and the industry will change to meet new consumer demands. This developing demographic's preferences, behaviors, and interests will ultimately decide the future of alcohol industry owners, distributors, producers, advertisers, and much more.

Spiritus Law, a Florida-based law firm serving clients in the hospitality and alcohol industries, announced that it is restructuring the firm to better reflect its entrepreneurial spirit and collaborative team culture. The restructuring also showcases an increasing trend of law firms branching out to offer a broader range of services and business counseling to clients.

The firm announced that it is eliminating traditional partner titles to promote a more team-oriented culture. New titles focus on enhancing collaboration and include Team Manager, Team Leader, Team Coordinator, Team Administrator, Team Assistant, and Teammate. Attorney compensation will support and promote entrepreneurial effort in building business at all levels rather than just for partners.  Additionally, the firm’s compensation schedule for paralegal and administrative positions will continue to include mid and year-end bonus incentives and monthly MVP awards, which are practices the firm adopted in 2021.  The firm is also moving to a peer-review evaluation process that will include a review of immediate administrative supervisors.
