Pooja S. Nair, Chair of ECJ’s Food, Beverage and Hospitality Department, was recently featured in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s expert roundtable discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on the food and beverage industry.
In the roundtable, Pooja discusses legal and regulatory uncertainty facing the industry as a result of shutdowns caused by the pandemic. Restaurants and bars are being faced with public health concerns and are struggling to remain open while other segments of the industry, including consumer-packaged goods, alcohol and grocery, are seeing a rise in demand.
