The Licensing Act 2003 contains numerous new and revised offences which those in the licensed trade need to be aware of in their day to day business. Our licensing lawyers have a detailed understanding of the offences under the new regime and can advise on best practice to avoid offences being committed.

If prosecutions are brought against you, we can advise on potential defences and effective pleas in mitigation in order to minimise any adverse consequences.
