Michael Gottlieb is a business attorney specializing in restaurant law 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, liquor, and hospitality industries, from a business and legal perspective. The owners of wineries, custom crush facilities, wine bars, and wine shops have unique challenges. Many are family owned businesses that have the complexity of a larger enterprise. Many are owned by restaurant-savvy individuals who are not experienced in the legal and regulatory world. And with ever-shrinking margins, many simply cannot afford expensive attorneys to help them.

Mr. Gottlieb has advised restaurants, wine bars, wineries, wine importers, wine exports, and wine distributors on a wide variety of issues. He offers reasonable rates to these clients to help them succeed.
