I believe the answer is:

ritz

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eminent hotelier' is the definition.
'ritz' can be an answer for 'hotelier' (Swiss hotelier Cesar Ritz). I am unsure of the 'eminent' bit.

'legal documents reportedly' is the wordplay.
'legal documents' becomes 'writs' (writ is a kind of legal document).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'writs' is a homophone of 'RITZ'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ritz that I've seen before include "(Expensive) London hotel" , "Grand hotel" , "Stylish establishment" , "Classy hotel" , "Luxury hotel" .)
