- Entity structuring and formation
- Owner buyouts

Distribution Agreement
A distribution agreement is seen in business as the marriage between a distributor and a brewery. Similarly, like marriage, getting out of a distribution agreement is challenging and expensive. Since franchise and distribution laws are different for each country, you need a law firm with experience in helping brewers across the U.S, like the Beer Attorney.
Our expert legal team of lawyers will assist you throughout the distribution agreement process, including:
- Explain Your State’s Franchise Laws
- Drafting, Reviewing, or Revising Distribution Agreements
- Negotiating Territorial Limitations, Distributor Exclusivity, and Pricing
- Flexibility
- Conducting Annual Renewal Reviews
- Overseeing Post Termination Obligations and Arbitration.
Licensing
Your first time driving is a similar experience to operating your new brewery business. The common factor between these two thrilling experiences is that it requires you to have a license to experience them. To enable you to "drive" your brand-new brewery, the Beer Attorney Team will assist you with the licensing procedure, just like your first driving instructor.
The Beer Attorney team is here to assist you with:
- Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) Licensing
- COLA label approvals
- License Conversion
- State Licensing
- License Amendments
- Application Review
Copyrights
A drink cannot be protected by copyright, but a label design can be. If you consider your label a work of art, it should be protected like one. Our attorneys here in Minneapolis, Minnesota can help you file, acquire, and register a license of ownership copyright so that you can protect your designs from copyright infringement. A single copyright filing can help you protect your design for almost 95 to 120 years.

We treat all alcohol equally, just like the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Although we are Beer Attorneys, we also provide all legal services to wineries, cideries, distilleries, and other producers of spirits. We can always assist you with everything from intellectual property to distribution.
General
In addition to providing the usual range of legal services, our team at Beer Attorney in Minneapolis is also prepared to help with any "special releases" that businesses might need. We are a one-stop shop for your business legal needs. We can also act as your outside general counsel, representing you in court and assisting your business with legal and business disputes.
Non-Beer
While we are proud beer attorneys, our full-service law firm still caters to non-beer businesses, and we help all kinds of companies with their legal needs. Being a brand of Drumm Law, we also believe in the trademark that "difference is good." This belief extends to our kind of legal service, and our team will make sure to help you with all your business legal needs.
