We assist national, regional and local clients through the initial license or permit application and renewal processes and help them fully comply with state alcoholic beverage control laws, respond to regulatory inquiries and business operations questions and issues in Idaho and Utah. Our liquor licensing attorneys have more than 50 years of collective experience, bringing a broad range of knowledge to a wide variety of state and local licensing, lobbying and regulatory compliance matters. Our liquor licensing attorneys pride themselves on responsiveness and help clients navigate through the regulatory processes in a timely and efficient manner.
Our liquor licensing and compliance services include, but are not limited to, filing federal, state and local applications for retail and manufacturing licenses and state permits; filing license renewals; responding to regulatory issues and appearing on behalf of clients in various contexts. Our attorneys can also assist clients with corporate and company formation; property acquisition; lease negotiations; franchise issues; license transfers; and changes in control transactions. We frequently represent clients in alcohol licensing related to the development and construction of new restaurants; hotels and resorts; selling or acquiring a currently-licensed establishment; and related change in control transactions involving currently-licensed establishments.
Our clients include hotels, resorts, restaurants, bars and taverns, on-premises and off-premises retailers, breweries, distilleries and wineries with national, regional and local portfolios. We represent clients of all sizes, from the national brands owning multiple licensed establishments and brands in various locations to the small business entrepreneur opening their first licensed establishment.
