WHY CHOOSE VIVA LAW FIRM FOR ALCOHOL BEVERAGE LAW?

South Carolina alcohol beverage licensing ("ABL") laws and regulations can be very confusing. Often, different laws must be read together in order to truly understand the licensure requirements. Do you know who all your principals are? Have you met all the restaurant or nonprofit requirements? Would you be best suited as a brewpub or brewery? Are you facing the suspension or revocation of your alcohol license?
