Practical counsel that protects growth. We plan deals, draft clear contracts, manage filings, and guide inspections so your team can move without surprises.
Why Us
You are buying solutions and speed. Our job is to turn rules into steps your team can execute. Every engagement starts with a plain‑language plan with milestones, filings, and an owner for each task. You will always know where things stand and what is next.
Bars, venues, dispensaries, shared kitchens, and VGT locations share patterns. We draft with those patterns in mind, which leads to contracts that read cleanly, filings that pass review, and playbooks that staff can follow on a busy night.
Not every risk deserves the same attention. We focus on location control, training, incident logs, insurance, and taxes. The result is a program that regulators respect and your team can maintain.
Expect short updates, clear checklists, and fast answers. We keep documents in a shared folder, label versions, and note approvals so everyone moves in the same direction.
We offer flat fees for standard filings, monthly counsel for ongoing support, and project pricing for deals. You choose what fits. No surprises and no mystery invoices.
Inspections and events do not follow office hours. We plan ahead for critical moments and make sure you have a direct line to someone who knows your file.
Services
We form entities, manage ownership changes, and keep governance tidy. Contracts include MSAs, vendor and supply, distribution, NDAs, and IP assignments. For leases we negotiate letters of intent, use clauses, buildout terms, assignment and subletting, and enforcement language that reflects your operations.
Buying a business or selling a location touches licenses, employees, vendors, and landlords. We perform diligence, align transfer approvals, and draft the asset purchase or membership interest agreement so day one is smooth.
We prepare complete applications, notice materials, and plans of operation. We map capacity, egress, and crowd management. We also coordinate with aldermanic offices and community groups when required.
We handle state and city licensing, BASSET, dram shop insurance, and service area maps that include patios and rooftops. We align leases, insurance, and incident policies so inspections go as expected.
We assist dispensaries, craft grow, infusers, and transporters. Work includes disclosures, SOPs, packaging reviews, community engagement, and staff training materials that match your floor plan and security plan.
We structure operator and user licenses, draft user agreements, and build sanitation and allergen plans. We prepare recall and incident logs and help you pass inspections on the first try.
We draft and review location agreements, confirm restricted areas, and set up accounting and maintenance logs that match regulator expectations.
We coordinate state and city licensing, age verification, signage, and renewal calendars that sync across locations.
For venues, promoters, and talent we draft appearance, tour, and residency agreements. We cover settlement sheets, percentage deals, refunds, and sponsor integrations. The goal is a clean show and a clean settlement.
We handle demand letters, mediation, and, when needed, litigation strategy. We also respond to agency investigations and hearings and work to resolve issues before they become costly.
Outcomes
We aim for approvals on the first pass, inspections without surprises, and contracts that reduce disputes. We also care about tempo. The faster your documents move, the sooner your team can execute.
