Alcohol & Regulated Products Law

Genova Burns’ Alcohol, Food & Beverage Law Practice Group helps businesses seeking alcohol-beverage licenses navigate the myriad local, state and federal compliance issues that come with this process. The Group’s attorneys use their corporate and transactional law experience to help clients efficiently and effectively navigate the regulatory landscape with respect to the manufacture, distribution, sale and consumption of licensed alcoholic beverages.

Comprehensive Guidance for Alcohol Beverage Industry Clients

Our attorneys have extensive experience with the New Jersey Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC) and partnerships with leading industry groups, such as the Garden State Craft Brewers Guild and the National Conference of State Liquor Administrators (NCSLA). They lecture often on alcohol and beverage law and provide advice to domestic and international manufacturers, distributors and retailers on all aspects of federal, state and local alcohol and beverage licensing and compliance.

Licensing, Regulatory Compliance and Defense

We advise New Jersey restaurants, hotels, bars, nightclubs, resorts and venues with concessionaries as well as on liquor, catering and special-event licensing regulations as well as manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers of liquor, wine and beer on the laws governing these activities. We counsel our clients in:

Craft Beer and Spirits
