Distribution Agreements
In the business world, the distribution agreement is considered the marriage between a brewery and a distributor. And just like getting out of marriage, it can be difficult and costly. Similarly, distribution laws governing agreements between breweries and distributor franchises can differ from state to state. We assist breweries in the preparation of distribution agreements. Not only that, but we also provide services in the form of:
- Explaining Your State’s Franchise Laws
- Drafting, Reviewing, or Revising Distribution Agreements
- Negotiating Territorial Limitations, Distributor Exclusivity, and Pricing
- Flexibility
- Conducting Annual Renewal Reviews

Licensing
Driving a new car and opening your brewery business requires an initial step. Both requires you first to have a license to run it. Our Beer Attorneys in Chicago can help your drive around the brewery industry by assisting you in the journey of license processing. Our team can also help you in:
- Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) Licensing
- COLA label approvals
- License Conversion
- State Licensing

Copyrights
While no law can allow you to copyright a drink, there is undoubtedly a way to copyright and own a label design. To protect your designs from copyright infringement, our attorneys can assist you in filing, acquiring, and registering a license of ownership copyright. With the assistance of our service, you can practice ownership of your design for a period of 95 to 120 years with a single copyright filing.
