Licensing

We are licensing law specialists. We act for chains of restaurants and bars, nightclubs, supermarkets, sports and leisure stadia and facilities and some of London's most prestigious hotels.

We take pride in the efficiency of our work and the need to be both imaginative and pragmatic. We aim to ensure that your business runs legally and with the minimum of interruption from the licensing process. Our award winning online instruction and application tracking services have been well received by clients.

We act for those who wish to apply for premises licences but also, from time to time represent interested parties (local residents and businesses) who wish to oppose an application. We have acted for objectors fighting off lap dancing clubs on their doorstep. Conversely we have successfully obtained a full striptease licence within Westminster.

We keep clients fully informed on changes in the law through our Briefings and news items. For example, lap dancing clubs will soon be reclassified as sex entertainment venues and there will be new grounds on which applications for such venues may be refused. We have written a series of Briefings on this subject

We love taking on challenges, helping you to push boundaries and to remain ahead of your competitors.
