Ted's Hospitality Minute | Guest - Holly Hempel
Hi this is Ted Kelly with another Ted's Hospitality Minute. Hey today we've got a great guest on Holly Hempel with Nelson Mullen and she's going to tell us a little bit about some pending legislation that's coming up in the Georgia House that may have an impact on hotel owners and potential hotel owners. Hi Holly welcome to the show! - Hey Ted thanks for having me. Awesome, hey, tell us a little bit about you first before we get into that and tell us a little bit about your background and how you decided you wanted to be an attorney. So my name's Holly Hempel, I'm an Attorney here at Nelson Mullins in Atlanta Georgia. I have been practicing for about 20 years. I graduated in 1999 from Wake Forest and I moved to Atlanta. I was sort of drawn to Atlanta after the Olympics and moved here and have had a great career almost exclusively at Nelson Mullins. I practice all on the litigation defense side and I have defended a lot of hotels over the years. I've always been really interested in premises liability and believe it or not i was a police officer before I went to law school and so I had some firsthand experience with you know some of the criminal issues that come up at hotels and I was also a waitress for many years at resorts and hotels. #TedKelly #TedsHospitalityMinute #HollyHempel
