We got into this business to assist our friends in the food and beverage industry because we love food, craft beer, and the community it creates. After all, what brings people together like great food and drink? While the F&B industry will always own our hearts, that's not all we do.
Bristow Beverage Law is a full-service law firm. The only thing we won't do is litigate—we'll leave that to the folks in suits. Our goal is to build businesses and, as a small business ourselves, we understand the value of being flexible, responsive, and efficient. We wear a lot of different hats and our core practice areas offer a robust and diverse range of ways we can help you get to where you want to go.

If we're the right fit for your project, we'll send you a representation letter outlining our scope of work to make it official. If for some reason we're not, we'll refer you to a trusted colleague who can help. We've found that monthly retainers tend to be prohibitive for smaller businesses, so we don't require them and hope we'll never need to. Instead, we offer many flat-rate services to make budget planning easier. For projects that are a little more outside the box, our hourly rate applies and we'll gladly provide estimates in advance. No one likes to be caught off-guard by unexpected bills, that's why transparency and communication are so important to us. |
