We prepare applications for new licences to include premises licences, club premises certificates, temporary event notices and personal licences.

We are able to minimise the risk of a contested premises application by advising you on an appropriate operating schedule. If there are relevant representations we can negotiate with the objectors and, if necessary, represent you at the initial licensing authority hearing and any subsequent appeals.

Work experience/case studies:

• Successful Crown Court Appeals in respect of objections to applications for new liquor licences on 2 linked premises.
• Successful application on behalf of a hotelier, despite initial fire authority objections, for a full justices' licence in place of an existing restaurant licence.
