Managing attorney
Jordan Reis Cohen
Born in San Francisco and raised as a Bay Area native, Jordan brings over a decade of business transactional legal experience in the hospitality industry. Notably, with a broad view of CA statewide, Jordan’s expertise focuses on business formation & transactions, licensing, ABC compliance, commercial leasing, acquisitions, equity/debt based financing, and trademark protection.
He was introduced early on to cooking and food culture by his mother and father. Though there were initial thoughts of culinary school or a crusade as a writer, he was urged to pursue a legal career that unknowingly would bring him face to face with the industry he was so passionate about.
Jordan seized the impeccable opportunity to create Brick & Mortar Legal PC that serves California’s burgeoning alcoholic beverage and hospitality community. In addition to his particular understanding of California beverage law, Jordan's years of working at restaurants in both the back and front of the house allow him the unique ability to approach ownership, operation, and small business issues with true pragmatism.
