This area of activity is now regulated by The Licensing Act 2003 which, along with its associated regulations and prescribed forms, can be difficult to navigate. Missing a step or notification will result in delay and expense, neither of which are welcome.

If you are setting up or amending a Premises Licence, or making application for a Personal Licence then we have the expertise to assist you. We can also appear before the Licensing Committee and, where necessary, conduct appeals on your behalf before the Magistrates Court.

We have prepared an example showing our likely costs – and the expenses that you will be asked to meet – if you ask us to help you with an application for a Premises Licence. We hope that you will find it helpful. Please click here to open the link.
