About
Provided by GrayRobinson, PA
GrayRobinson’s National Alcohol Law Team comprises a team of attorneys, regulatory consultants, and licensing specialists. The experience of our attorneys specializing in the laws governing the alcohol industry provides unparalleled talent for solving problems and achieving results. The Team also includes over a dozen licensing specialists emphasizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We counsel on all federal, state, and local laws governing the production, importation, distribution, promotion, sale and service of alcohol beverages and represent clients in all segments (beer, wine, and distilled spirits) and all tiers (manufacturers/importers, wholesale distributors, and retailers) of the alcohol industry.
In addition to regulatory and trade practice, we handle licensure and compliance for M&A and multi-location projects. We represent buyers and sellers and advise industry clients on transactions in which purchasers include banks, private equity funds, and investors with no prior relationship with the alcohol industry. We have migrated tens of thousands of licenses and permits for clients with business interests in multiple states.
We also provide marketing guidance, including utilizing social media and disruptive technologies (sales and delivery apps, AI, Mobile ID, etc.). Evolving technology presents new challenges and opportunities, and bridging creativity and compliance requires a deep understanding of policy and real-time awareness of marketing tactics.
