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.
At the Law Offices of James J. Cipoletta, we have decades of experience in representing clients who own or operate entertainment venues, restaurants, nightclubs, and adult entertainment establishments. Whether you require legal representation in the sale or purchase of one of these businesses, need help with obtaining the proper licenses or permits, or your business has been served a notice of a violation hearing by the local or state licensing authority, we are able to assist you.
