The alcoholic beverage industry is regulated at three levels of government (local, state and federal). At each level, law enforcement officials monitor businesses for compliance under an assortment of laws, regulations and ordinances. If a business violates these laws, it could face penalties ranging from a fine to the revocation of its liquor license. A business is entitled to an attorney in most administrative hearing processes. We have helped hundreds of businesses defend against charges relating to their liquor licenses before governmental agencies. We can provide consultations on optimal organizational format and risk management techniques.
