Our expertise also includes advising on labeling requirements, market access barriers, and the recognition of distinctive products like Tequila, Mezcal, Bourbon, and Canadian Whisky.

Whether our clients face challenges affecting their distribution channels, encounter tariff or non-tariff barriers, or become involved in disputes over government support programs, we provide precise and strategic legal solutions. Our goal is to safeguard their commercial interests while ensuring compliance with international trade obligations, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the global spirits and alcoholic beverages market effectively.
