Making, distributing, or selling alcoholic beverages can be an exciting business opportunity, but the laws and regulations surrounding the liquor industry are very complex. A business will need to obtain the correct licenses, and the requirements and application process can vary wildly depending on the location of the business, the types of liquor being manufactured or sold, and a wide variety of other factors.

At Bahr Anderson Law Group, LLC, we work with liquor manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to address licensing issues, and we help businesses develop strategic plans that will allow them to accomplish their long-term goals.
