Michael Gottlieb is a business attorney specializing in hospitality and alcohol (beer, wine, and liquor) law in Oregon and Washington. Throughout Mr. Gottlieb’s career, he has been deeply involved in the challenges of the restaurant, alcohol, and hospitality industries, from a business and legal perspective. The owners of distilleries have unique challenges. Many are small start-up businesses that have the complexity of a larger enterprise. Many are owned by liquor enthusiasts who are not experienced in the legal and regulatory world. And with the expense of starting a distillery, many simply cannot afford expensive attorneys to help them.

Mr. Gottlieb has advised distilleries, wineries, breweries, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and catering companies on a wide variety of issues. He offers reasonable rates to these clients to help them succeed.
