Comprehensive Legal Support for Breweries, Distilleries, Wineries, and More

Breweries, Distilleries and Wineries
While other firms in Michigan may boast knowledge of the state's liquor laws, few are as experienced as the Liquor Lawyers at Brower Vander Veen. Our team of lawyers work with federal law and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB) on a daily basis. Through professional and personal experience, our team has gained a extensive understanding of the arduous process that obtaining manufacturing liquor licenses can present to our clients. The ability to navigate complex federal laws gives us the confidence that will keep our clients on the "right" side of the law.

Liquor Licensing and Violations
Unlike many law firms that just "dabble" in liquor law, Brower Vander Veen's team of Liquor Lawyers work with liquor-licensed businesses, legislators, regulators, and the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) on a daily basis. Our working knowledge allows us to quickly respond to the issues that arise when obtaining or transferring a Michigan liquor license. Furthermore, as co-owner of a brewery, partner Michael A. Brower has an intimate understanding of the problems and concerns that licensees regularly face, as well as the best practices for success in the industry.
