Overview
Neal Morris believes that stronger businesses make for stronger communities, so he focuses his practice on helping those businesses to develop and grow. As an attorney in McBrayer’s administrative law practice, Neal devotes his time to helping businesses, especially those in the alcoholic beverage industry, navigate regulations, licensing, compliance, administrative hearings, and any other issues with which they may need legal assistance. He has a long history with the alcoholic beverage industry, which informs his practice and drives him professionally on behalf of his clients in Kentucky’s signature bourbon industry and beyond.
Neal brings a focused energy to all his work, and that dedication builds strong relationships with his clients, who know they can return to Neal and McBrayer time and again for any legal needs that may arise.
Neal is an active member of the Kentucky Guild of Brewers and an associate member with the National Association of Licensing and Compliance Professionals (NALCP). In his spare time, Neal enjoys homebrewing, wine making, weightlifting and hiking.
