Staff Reports
Beth Goldberg most recently has been Assistant Director for the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), capping a regulatory career spanning three decades.
Now, she’s taking that expertise to Florida’s GrayRobinson law firm as the newest member of its Nationwide Alcohol Industry Team.
“The alcohol business is one of the most heavily regulated industries in America, and trade practice issues at the federal, state and even local levels make it one of the most challenging industries in terms of helping clients operate in compliance with the myriad of laws that regulate their activities,” said Richard M. Blau, head of the practice team, in a statement.
“Our team is comprised of valued professionals with deep roots in the industry who not only understand the relevant laws that require compliance, but also the enforcement policies applied by the relevant agencies charged with administering those laws,” Blau added.
“Beth is the perfect example of a well-respected industry professional with extensive institutional knowledge and strong regulatory relationships to bring to the table for the benefit of our clients.”
Goldberg’s experience ran the gamut from field investigations to directing and overseeing the licensing, enforcement and administrative functions of 12 field offices, as well as specialized units in the California ABC’s Southern California division, according to a press release.
“She was involved in policy and procedure development and implementation, and ensuring its consistent statewide application,” it said.
Goldberg is the most recent addition to a team of “more than 25 lawyers, former regulators and licensing specialists who focus their professional skills on serving the legal and compliance needs of alcohol industry members throughout North America.”
