About Ryan
Biography
I focus on serving the legal needs of the alcohol beverage and cannabis industries. I regularly assist clients in navigating the intricacies of federal and state-by-state laws and draft industry-specific agreements, such as sponsorship agreements, agency agreements, bottling agreements, and distributor agreements.
Prior to forming Malkin Law, I was an attorney at Pernod Ricard USA and a former Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan.
But my passion for the alcohol beverage industry began as a journalist specializing in writing about the alcohol and hospitality industries, with articles appearing in such publications as SmartMoney, Beverage Media, , and Esquire.
I regularly present to those in the alcohol beverage and cannabis industries and those unfamiliar with the industry at conferences including the American Craft Distillers Association conference, the American Distilling Institute annual conference, Golden State of Cocktails, and the New York Holiday Buying Show, Tales of the Cocktail, and Florida MMJ Business Education seminar.
I am of counsel with Hoban Law Group () the nation's premier cannabusiness law firm in the United States.
