Opening, buying or selling a bar or restaurant in Pennsylvania means working within one of the most regulated liquor systems in the country. A single license transaction can involve the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, the local municipality, your lease or purchase agreement, your financing and your ownership structure, often all at once.

For more than a decade, a focus of Ed's practice has been representing bar and restaurant owners in the sale, acquisition and transfer of liquor licenses. Because he also handles the business and real estate needs for his clients, the license, the lease and the deal stay aligned from the start.

Who we work with:

bar and restaurant owners, buyers and sellers of licensed establishments, cafés and bakeries, hotels and event venues, and craft beverage producers.
