COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FOR YOUR LICENSING NEEDS

You might be applying for a premises license to help your business develop, varying a license in line with changing commercial demands, looking to obtain a personal license or wanting to secure a temporary event notice to capitalise on seasonal opportunities. Perhaps you are involved in a licensing-related dispute and require skilled representation to maximise your chances of success at a licensing committee appeal, or need expert support defending a licensing-related claim.

Whatever your licensing issue, we can provide bespoke, commercially-driven advice. Our specialists have experience across all types of licensing matters including hotels, cafes and restaurants, public houses, nightclubs or shops.

Our Licensing Team regularly supports clients with their licensing needs.  Recent highlights include:

  • Gaining a new premises licence in very short tight timescales for a pop-up shop in Cribbs Causeway, Bristol, plus a series of temporary events notices to provide interim licensing for the Christmas shopping period
