Connecticut's Liquor Laws and Licensing Requirements Are Complicated
The sale of liquor is a highly-regulated business. There are many state laws that must be complied with, both in opening such a business - such as a package store, a restaurant, or a hotel - and in maintaining such a business.
New Applications: Jerry works with clients to prepare applications for new liquor licenses. This includes determining which of 60 different types of liquor license a client should apply for, getting approvals from local zoning and public safety authorities, and gathering the necessary documentation that must accompany each new application.
Compliance Meetings and Hearings: As an attorney, Jerry appears before the Liquor Control Commission, where a client has been charged with violations of the Liquor Control Act. This may mean an informal pre-hearing, known as a Compliance Meeting, or a more formal hearing before the Commission, where witnesses testify and are cross-examined.
Complex Statutory and Regulatory Analysis: Every business involved in the sale of liquor has questions about how to best comply with the liquor laws and regulations. Jerry has worked with package stores, wholesalers, restaurants, and other businesses to figure out how the laws and regulations may affect business plans and operations.
