Retail & Restaurants

Across the Gulf South and Midwest, retail stores and restaurants account for a significant portion of the region’s economy. Since our founding in 1987, Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith has partnered with clients in these industries, providing result-driven representation focused on accomplishing their business objectives.

Our attorneys are well versed in our clients’ businesses, understanding the risks and business opportunities within the retail and restaurant industries. We have successfully handled matters involving premises liability, negligent operations, and labor and employment matters. 

To stay current with industry trends and practices, Galloway is a member of several industry organizations, including leadership within the National Retail & Restaurant Defense Association, an organization formed to protect the interests of the retail and restaurant industries by developing strategies to reduce the number and severity of claims, manage common risks, and enhance our defense position in litigated matters.

Additionally, our attorneys regularly present educational seminars for our clients as part of employee training programs, at industry conferences, and for insurance carriers and their insureds. Topics have included litigation trends, implementing and maintaining a culture of safety, incident investigation, risk management, government regulations, and industry standards.

From fast food restaurants to regional and national stores and everything in between, Galloway goes way above and way beyond for our retail and restaurant clients.
