California Alcohol Permit Lawyer

CALIFORNIA ALCOHOL PERMIT ATTORNEY

Virtually every business in operation in the United States must meet specific licensing and permit requirements to continue operations. This is especially true of businesses operating in the alcoholic beverage sales industry. If you run a winery, distillery, brewery, or alcohol retail establishment in California, you must have your permits and licensing in order to avoid potentially heavy fines or even forced closure of your business for violation of California liquor laws. If you want to run your business with peace of mind and do not want to encounter preventable permit and licensing issues, you need legal counsel from the team at Blake & Ayaz.

Our team understands the unique challenges facing companies operating in California’s alcoholic beverage sales market. Attempting to navigate the legal processes of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and other regulating bodies at the federal and state levels can be incredibly challenging without experienced legal guidance on your side, and we can provide that guidance so you can continue running your business with confidence.

WHY DO I NEED A CALIFORNIA ALCOHOL PERMIT ATTORNEY?

It’s not only necessary to apply for and obtain a permit for your alcoholic beverage business in California, but it is also necessary to obtain the correct type of permit for the business you run and the products you sell. For example, there are different rules for wineries and breweries than there are for bars and liquor stores. An experienced California alcohol permit lawyer can help you determine exactly what kind of permits and licenses you need to continue operating without interruptions or unexpected legal matters suddenly appearing.

Your business will likely need to navigate a permit and licensing process at both the federal and state level. The TTB manages approval of labels and formulas for alcoholic beverage products of all kinds, and you may need to interact with this agency in many capacities over the course of running your business. While it may be possible to navigate TTB processes and obtain state-level licensing and permits for your business on your own, this can be incredibly challenging while you are already trying to run your business day to day. Instead of shouldering this responsibility and risking avoidable delays, have your California alcohol permit lawyer obtain the clearances you need to continue operating with confidence.

FEDERAL ALCOHOL LICENSING AND PERMITS

Blake & Ayaz have experience assisting clients with federal licensing matters and interacting with the TTB, the regulating authority responsible for the alcohol sales industry. We can help our clients obtain various licenses and permits as needed, including:

• Federal import licenses, which are essential if you intend to import spirits and liquors from overseas manufacturers.
• Permits for Distilled Spirit Plant (DSP) beverages. The manufacturing of some alcoholic beverages requires the careful use of DSP ingredients, most of which are heavily monitored.
• Wholesale licensing. Some alcoholic beverage manufacturers create and sell their own products while others sell at the wholesale level to other distributors and retailers.
• Brewer licensing. If you intend to craft your own beer products, you must obtain appropriate brewery licensing.
• Retail licensing. It’s often necessary to secure a permit to produce your wares and then secure a different permit to legally sell them. We can assist you in obtaining retail licensing so you can earn profits from product sales legally.

These are only a few of the permit and licensing processes with which our firm can assist you. We understand that these processes are typically confusing and hard to manage when you are already trying to run a business, so allow our team of California alcohol permit attorneys to handle your legal matters so you can focus on your business.
