Suzanne Erickson with Brenau University and Taylor Harper with Taylor, Feil, Harper, Lumsden & Hess, P.C.

Taylor Harper‘s practice, Taylor, Feil, Harper, Lumsden & Hess, P.C., focuses primarily on regulatory compliance and litigation in the beverage-alcohol industry. Specifically, Taylor focuses on assisting supply-tier companies, e.g., breweries, distilleries, wineries, etc., companies on the wholesale tier, and retail-tier companies, e.g., restaurants, hotels, package stores, etc., in administrative, regulatory, and litigation matters at the federal, state, and local levels. He also assists his clients in all phases of operations, including start-up, structuring, and governance. The beverage-alcohol industry is highly regulated and governed by a complex web of laws from multiple, intersecting jurisdictions. In his regulatory compliance practice, he helps individuals and companies navigate this gauntlet with care, foresight, and precision to protect them from mishaps and position them for success. On the litigation side, he uses his industry expertise to achieve the best possible solution for his clients, whether through trial or negotiated resolution. He’s been neck-deep in the beverage-alcohol industry for the past few years, and his firm has been a leader in this practice area for nearly 40 years. He is regularly asked by government officials, legislators, and trade organizations to explain the ins and outs of the industry. He has presented at multiple conferences, such as the Annual Conference of the National Conference of State Liquor Administrators and the Annual Southeastern Craft Brewers Symposium. Ultimately, his goal is to give his clients more in value than he takes in payment. TFH Legal avoids the highly-leveraged law firm model adopted by some firms. Instead, they provide their clients with hands-on service by experienced attorneys who are responsive and accessible, and who work shoulder to shoulder with their clients to meet their needs and goals.
