Licensing

Since the introduction of the 2003 Licensing Act, anyone wishing to sell alcohol or provide public entertainment has to adhere to a dual system of licensing. Our licensing department provides specialist advice from the planning stage through to opening. We take a proactive role to ensure that with early input of advice, your business proceeds smoothly and without delay.

We have considerable experience of making applications for new licences for hotels, pubs and clubs, holiday and caravan parks, self catering complexes, restaurants and fitness and health clubs. We can assist you with :
  • Applying for new premises licences and club premises certificates
  • Applying to vary or transfer premises licences and club premises certificates
  • Applying for personal licences
  • Dealing with contested applications and representing clients before licensing committees
  • Defending prosecutions for breach of licence, fire or health & safety laws
  • Advising on the sale, purchase and leasing of licensed premises
  • Advising on planning issues
If you are currently in a dispute with a licensing authority, then we can advise on the best way to present your case. We will also keep you informed of any changes in the licensing laws and advise on their implications

We draw on the wide variety of resources available to us in dealing with your specific needs to provide you with a precise and bespoke service.
