Licensed trade litigation by expert dispute resolution lawyers

Licensed trade litigation

Approach

Our comprehensive, hands-on approach to licensed trade dispute resolution, litigation and associated estate management allows us to gain an invaluable insight into your business.

This enables us to act more like an in-house legal team rather than a third-party supplier, providing you with the confidence to outsource to industry experts, taking the pressure off you and your team.

Licensed trade litigation

Experience

We understand the niches, complexities and the evolution of the various codes of practice and legislation surrounding the licensed trade.

Our Licensing team regularly receives excellent feedback from our clients for being genuine licensed trade experts.

In addition to common landlord and tenant issues, we are specialists in those aspects of property disputes and litigation that are entirely bespoke to licensed premises, such as licensing obligations, beer ties and issues relating to the statutory Pubs Code and market rent only (MRO) rights.

Having acted for numerous household name breweries, pub companies, groups of off-licences and individual premises, we are one of only a few law firms in the UK to deal with cases involving the statutory Pubs Code. We have acted on several arbitrations before the Pubs Code adjudicator, in addition to a judicial review claim representing an interested party.

Consistently achieving top rankings in The Legal 500, many of our team members are recognised individually for their significant expertise and commitment to clients in the licensed trade.
