FOOD & BEVERAGE LAW

The culture and industry of food and
beverage is quite different from that
of many other industries.

SPECIALIZING IN FOOD, BEVERAGE & CONSUMER PRODUCTS.

The food and beverage industry comes with its own host of challenges. You must create a safe, but efficient work environment that simultaneously complies with USDA and FDA production laws but also maintains the bottom line.  We have extensive experience in helping food and beverage manufacturers, distributors and brand owners create, scale up and evolve their processes.  We also have the experience to create appropriate risk-management policies and practices to ensure success. But, obstacles and hurdles are inevitable in this industry and we’re there at a moment’s notice to manage crises.  We know the difference between a company that survives and one that fails.

LICENSING AGREEMENTS

Whether as a licensor or licensee, term sheets and long-form license agreements contain a multitude of business and legal factors that must be considered, negotiated and drafted to protect the brand and the licensing program for decades to come.  Do it once with focus and strategy.

MANUFACTURING
Co-packing 
agreements

In order to successfully negotiate manufacturing agreements, co-man agreements and co-packing agreements, one must first understand the business specific to food, beverage and consumer products and navigate all the possibilities that are inevitable in this industry

SUPPLY, VENDOR & DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

Manufacturing, vendor and distribution agreements must outline the key roles and responsibilities and contain the vital details with certainty and stability for all parties involved. Don’t think of just the price charged, but consider the entire production chain and how to best protect yourself.
