LIQUOR LICENSE SERVICES PRACTICE
The most significant obstacle in the formation or operation of any
restaurant or bar is the ability to obtain a liquor license that allows the business
to operate within its desired municipality. Many such business
owners have sought counsel from Hays Firm LLC regarding how to
transfer or obtain the necessary liquor licenses. In order to address this
need, the firm provides all services related to transferring a liquor license, or
obtaining a new liquor license from a local municipality, on a
fixed-flat fee basis. These services include the following:
- Determine which class of liquor license a new business owner needs in order to
comply with local law, and obtain the necessary applications to acquire
the required license
- Check local zoning laws to ensure that the selected location is within an
area that permits the type of restaurant or bar that the client wishes
to establish
- Complete all applications, and arrange all inspections of the selected property,
which are required under local law
- Complete all documentation related to the personal background checks of all
owners of the business entity that is applying for the liquor license, as required by local law
- Monitor and review all objections received by the relevant municipal authority
in response to any required notices that were sent to property owners
in area surrounding the proposed business location
- Obtain and provide any other documentation or information that is required by
the relevant local authorities.
The procedures related to the transfer of an existing liquor license, or
issuance of a new liquor license, are extremely time-sensitive and document-intensive. The current trend is that this process is
becoming more difficult as various municipalities and Wards within the City of
Chicago are restricting the issuance of new liquor licenses. For that
reason, any individual attempting to transfer or obtain a liquor license should
contact Hays Firm LLC to discuss how we can best present your case
to the proper authorities and ensure that you obtain the licenses necessary to
operate your business.You may contact the Hays Firm LLC at (312) 499-9605 or via e-mail.
