Joshua Bernstein, co-chair of Akerman's Hospitality Sector Team, recently shared with Law360 the industry trends he's keeping an eye on for the rest of year. Bernstein told the publication loans have become hard to come by and he expects a wave of foreclosures and bankruptcies, even in strong markets.

"There's a real potential for that as loans mature, despite the fact that many of these hotels are performing and performing well, because there is a lack of debt available to refinance and because even if debt were available, interest rates are so much higher than they were," Bernstein told Law360.

Bernstein also discusses the potential for more M&A activity, disputes over property improvement plans, and more subordination and nondisturbance disputes.
