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.
