A Taste of What You ll Do

We are seeking an experienced, collaborative Assistant General Counsel to report to the Deputy General Counsel and partner with business leaders across domestic sales, marketing, regulatory, and government affairs. In this role you will focus on the spirits and malt categories, provide practical legal advice at all levels of management, and take ownership of diverse matters including distributor relationships, advertising and promotions contracts, marketing and sales compliance, and review of proposed legislative and regulatory changes affecting alcoholic beverages.

You will maintain and grow expertise in federal and state laws governing licensing, packaging, distribution, marketing, and sales so you can counsel business teams and support regulatory and compliance colleagues. Your day-to-day will include drafting and negotiating commercial agreements with advertising agencies, promotional partners, vendors and industry peers; advising on distributor relationships and disputes; managing regulatory inquiries and investigations; and coordinating and supervising outside counsel where appropriate.

You will also contribute to acquisitions by reviewing alcohol licensing, contracts and compliance practices, and prepare analysis and guidance on proposed legal and regulatory developments.

You will design and deliver practical legal training for business personnel, lead and develop legal staff, and drive a culture of intrapreneurship and ownership—encouraging innovation, thoughtful risk-taking, candid discussion and accountability. A commitment to quality, environmental and safety regulatory compliance is essential, as is the ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, business-focused advice.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to creating an inclusive, accessible workplace. If you are a strategic, action-oriented lawyer with strong commercial instincts and experience in alcoholic beverage regulation, we’d love to hear how you can help shape compliant, creative business growth.
