Bar License Lawyer Berkeley County, SC
As a busy business owner, you have enough on your plate without worrying about beer and liquor regulatory compliance. Our attorneys provide practical assistance with the preparation and filing of your alcohol license application, ensuring that you’re compliant with state regulations. We act on your behalf with the SC State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and the Department of Revenue in all application and licensing procedures. Obtaining your Alcoholic Beverage License (ABL) can be complex. We simplify the process to ensure your application goes smoothly.
If you’re launching a new enterprise, whether it’s on-premise or off-premise consumption, you need both federal and state permits. We help you obtain your federal permit from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and the appropriate licensure from the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR). Our Berkley County bar license lawyer also helps you understand local ordinances regarding zoning, proximity to schools and churches, and other city- or county-specific requirements.
Failure to comply with municipal and state laws regarding alcoholic beverage sales and service can land you in a lot of legal trouble. From fines and a license suspension to the revocation of your beverage license that causes your business to close, we’re here to protect you. We explain any exposure that you may have from staff actions, advertising, and promotions to help you avoid expensive legal consequences. And, if you end up with a citation or notice to appear before the state licensing board, we can help you appeal their decision and protect your license and business.
