"You don't go to a cardiologist if your foot hurts. It’s the same thing with lawyers. You want someone who lives and breathes hospitality law."

Reuter thrives in hospitality law because her clients are passionate and somewhat unpredictable, which demands a lawyer adept at fast-paced and high-stakes negotiations.
