About the lawyer
Dave McConnell has advised food and beverage makers, creative content producers and entrepreneurs in many other businesses for the past twenty-three years. As the co-founder of a distillery based in Portland, Dave understands the range of challenges that all startups face and he has a particularly deep base of experience working with alcohol-related businesses. Daves clients appreciate his keen sense for practical solutions and sound business advice as much as his legal expertise as he helps them deftly navigate data privacy and protection questions, trademark and copyright licensing, complex local, state and federal and regulatory requirements and a number of other mission-critical matters. Daves goal is to help clients anticipate and avoid problems when possible and to deal with issues creatively and efficiently when trouble is impossible to avoid.

He has been awarded the highest possible rating for Ethical Standards and Legal Ability by Martindale-Hubbell for many years.
