Food And Beverage

The ingredients that go into Food and Beverage success are more complex and nuanced than a simple bottle of wine or packaged good might suggest. Every business engaged in the food and beverage industry faces numerous legal needs that require both focused expertise and broad knowledge. Issues such as regulation, labeling, interstate commerce, environmental impact, and others must be considered and managed to achieve strategic growth.

These diverse needs make Woods Oviatt Gilman an ideal partner. We combine passion, experience, and deep knowledge to provide our Food and Beverage clients with the most comprehensive legal representation.

Our Food and Beverage team members are experts in areas that support clients ranging from wineries to manufacturers and from small family businesses to large corporations, with experience in issues such as interstate growth management and generational succession planning.
