RESTAURANT FOOD QUALITY & HANDLING

Our understanding of restaurant/bar licensing and regulations enables us to provide you with solid legal guidance and representation.

Food quality and handling need to be the true cornerstone for every restaurant, such that it is imperative that you are neither serving unsafe food or drink nor preparing food or drink in an unsafe manner, which is often linked to a failure to maintain a safe and sanitary kitchen environment. Failing to meet such standards could subject a restaurant to a claim of negligent food handling and related public health infractions.

Unfortunately, the legal difficulties from food-related infractions and lawsuits arise from the restaurant's failure to institute proactive measures to insure compliance with the current health and food regulations and standards. For unlike the far lower cost associated with keeping one's business in compliance, the costs involved in dealing with a regulatory violation can be quite substantial. And those costs might not be limited to significant monetary fines and penalties, but can also result in major damage to the establishment's reputation and even the closure of the business, whether it be temporary or permanent. As such, it makes a lot of sense to protect against such violations, but when they do occur, it is imperative that you retain knowledgeable legal counsel to represent your business in this important legal fight.
