CLE + Wine Tasting Event

Wine Franchise Agreements and Why Ryan at ENSO Hates Them

Thursday, May 4

4-4:30pm: Wine tasting and social

4:30-5:30pm: CLE

5:30-6pm: Wine tasting and social

ENSO Winery, 1416 SE Stark, Portland

Wine is a commodity not regulated by the Interstate Commerce Clause but by the 21st Amendment. This gives states the power to impose their own sales regulatory schemes. Twenty-one states have “franchise agreement” laws on their books. These agreements limit out-of-state alcohol manufacturers from traditional contractual freedoms to terminate or modify agreements without the express approval from the in-state distributors as well as the Attorney General.

Attendees will learn about wine franchise agreements from Judy Parker, The Winemakers’ Lawyer, and get to taste five wines.

Please join the MBA Events Committee for this unique opportunity.

Generously sponsored by Chenoweth Law Group PC and Foster Garvey PC.

Cost: $30 for members; $50 for nonmembers

The MBA will apply for 1 hour of OSB MCLE credit

Jordana Loughran

Continued from page 12 to develop her understanding of client and case management, which allowed her to grow her book of business. Currently, Jordana is Of Counsel for Dunn Carney where her legal repertoire has expanded to include commercial real estate work. Jordana’s familiarity with the city’s landscape and real estate has certainly contributed to her credibility as a real estate attorney.

Jordana actively participates in community development and volunteer work to show gratitude to the city that raised her. She recently represented a local nonprofit in a land acquisition that will one day house a community center and preschool in a historically underrepresented neighborhood in the Portland Metro area. Jordana also serves on the NAIOP Developing Leader’s Board, an organization which serves as one of the most important forums for commercial real estate in Oregon. She also maintains several nonprofit pro bono clients, serves on the RELU Planning Committee, and heads DC LAW (Dunn Carney’s League of Attorney Women), which is focused on recruiting, retaining, and advancing female-identifying attorneys.

The city of Portland has shaped every facet of Jordana’s life and she acknowledges that it has given her so much to be thankful for, which is why she seeks to give back to the community that she dearly cares about for many years to come. Whether you are a lifetime resident of Portland or a transplant, Jordana encourages those in our profession to “give to your community without expectation of recognition or reward, and help where you can. Sometimes an act will provide an unintended positive result or sometimes it won’t, but we will all come out ahead by using our educational privilege to serve others.” It seems that Jordana embodies PSU’s motto displayed above Southwest Broadway - “Let knowledge serve the city.”
