Brian Randall joined the firm in March of 2018 and primarily works from its Milwaukee office.

He represents food and beverage clients that need alcohol beverage and food establishment licenses, as well as businesses with other municipal licenses, handling applications, license renewals, quasi-judicial hearings, and regulatory compliance. Brian guides clients through statutory and ordinance issues including legislative strategies for proposed ordinance changes.
Clients regularly turn to Brian to address alcohol license quota restrictions which can present economic development challenges for a community. In addition to his guidance of Pizza Hut, another recent example was Brian’s successful effort working with the City of Wauwatosa, a developing community facing the quota limit, to establish a Premier Economic Development District (under the 2016 “Titletown District” law) creating two additional Class B licenses for his developer client to attract new businesses to its project.
