Licensing

Licensing has been at the forefront of legal development over recent years with the introduction of new legislation regulating the sale of alcohol, entertainment venues and gambling.

Members of the team have extensive experience in terms of advice and advocacy, from hearings before local councils / magistrates to proceedings in the higher courts, representing applicants (both individual and corporate), objectors, police and other interested parties.

Licensing work of all kinds is undertaken including appeals, reviews, challenging special policies and the legality of local authority policies.
