Licence reviews, appeals and licensing prosecutions

Experience

No matter how serious the situation has been, we have always managed to reach a satisfactory outcome for our clients.

The excellent relationships that we have developed with local authorities and police forces throughout the UK build communication bridges in difficult situations and enable us to respond to and resolve issues quickly and effectively.

We have represented numerous premises where very serious crimes have been committed, including murder and grievous bodily harm, as well as having acted on behalf of premises where staff have been involved in the consumption, production and distribution of illegal drugs.
