Licensing

Secure success through compliance with UK-wide alcohol and entertainment licensing.

Now more than ever, hotel, bar, club, restaurant and festival businesses want to maximise revenue while keeping staff, clients and the general public safe.

Whether you need licenses for a nationwide estate with outlets in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales, or advice for a one-off event, you can trust our tailor-made, timely guidance. And we advise at every level – from operational matters at individual premises all the way to board level strategy.

Our team has broad and deep experience in all aspects of licensing and can provide you with initial advice, advocacy at hearings, and any other type of relevant support. And we know licensed premises can operate at any time, so we’re always available to help whenever it’s most convenient for you.

Experience

Licensing Aldi’s stores in Scotland, securing numerous new off-sales licences including in areas of overprovision where there is a presumption against the grant of new licences.

Advising Boomtown Festival on increasing venue capacity and amending existing conditions on their premises licence.

Providing licensing advice to Punch Pubs across England, Wales and Scotland including administration, application work, enforcement and attendance at hearings.

We're retained by Yum! (Pizza Hut delivery, Taco Bell, KFC) to advise on licensing matters across England, Wales, and Scotland. This has included an application for a "dark kitchen" operation which required a 24 hour license.
