Overview
The hospitality industry is known for one thing over anything else: high customer satisfaction.
Maynard Nexsen’s Alcohol Permitting & Licensing Group and hospitality law team works mirror that commitment for our clients through responsive and comprehensive legal advice, helping them navigate the challenging regulatory, community and legal aspects of alcohol permitting. These requirements can mean the difference between a failed investment and a successful business.
Maynard Nexsen’s staff of attorneys and registered lobbyists regularly appear before administrative law judges and regulatory agencies on behalf of clients and is also experienced in helping businesses respond to enforcement issues, including those related to alcohol permits.
We also know that businesses that require alcohol permitting also have other legal issues. Our team has extensive experience in alcohol licensing, business licensing, legal requirements of advertising and promotion, and employment and immigration issues.
Also, our team members have active practices in many other areas of law, including: Construction, Financial Services, Employment and Labor, Real Estate, Intellectual Property, Litigation, Regulatory, and Land Use and Zoning.
