Licensing

Our lawyers know their way around the often baffling world of licensing law and can help with all steps of an application from preparation through to ongoing operational issues, pre-empting unnecessary mistakes and saving you from the lost time and additional costs generated by delays and legal problems.

We can help with;

• Personal Licences
• Premises Licences
• Opening Hours
• Regulated Entertainment
• Contracts of Employment for Permanent and Temporary Staff
• Temporary Event Notices
• Closure of Premises
• Advocacy for Hearings and Appeals

as well as dealing with any associated commercial property or business buy-out transactions.

Where there are difficulties over the grant or variation of a licence we can assist with appeals and judicial reviews. We have links with local and national expert witnesses and barristers who can be called in to assist where necessary.

We can also provide advice to third parties on opposing applications for licences or changes to licences and assist with representations to the licensing authorities.
