Areas of Practice
LicensING AND permitting
The process for obtaining licenses to operate food, entertainment, and alcohol businesses in Massachusetts very often is a two and three-tier process. By necessity, the licensing of a business that serves alcohol requires approval both at the local (city or town) level and at the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC). Each has its own requirements and hearings. More >
