Maryland’s alcoholic beverage laws are extremely strict in regulating the operation of any business selling beer, wine or liquor. Violations can result in severe penalties, including suspension and forfeiture of liquor licenses. Attorneys from our firm regularly negotiate with prosecutors and represent businesses in civil and administrative courts in Maryland. Most importantly, however, we work with our clients from the outset to plan so that they can work to avoid violations from the start.
We represent businesses in the food and alcoholic beverage industry in a wide range of litigation, including employment litigation, contract litigation, and regulatory litigation. Our litigators have decades of experience pursuing litigating cases in Maryland.
