We are nationally recognised as one of the leading firms in licensing and environmental law. We offer expertise in applications and advocacy for the whole leisure and hospitality sector throughout the country.
The Department has been recognised by Legal 500 and the Chamber’s Directory of the Legal Profession as ‘a key player in the South’. The Legal 500 has ranked us in the top three of licensing firms in the South-West. With our unique combination of licensing lawyers, regulatory lawyers and planning consultants working together, the firm offers an unparalleled approach to projects, advising clients from conception through to opening and beyond.
For many, we are the law firm of choice. We act as solicitors to the National Outdoor Events Association and the Association of Festival Organisers. Our clients range from national organisations to individual businesses. Examples include the Hall & Woodhouse Brewery, the National Trust, Corals and Bowlplex.
Members of our team regularly lecture around the country to fellow professionals, local authorities and the trade. We are currently running short presentation on the subject of the smoking ban and the extension of the Noise Act to cover licensed premises. If you would like more details, please e-mail us.
Much of our work is undertaken on a fixed-fee basis although in some cases such as where the matter is highly contentious, we tend to work on an hourly rate that is agreed in advance.
We offer a limited period of free initial advice which is extended for those clients that are on our Estate Management Plan. For other high volume work, discounted rates are available.

As well as licensing, we have a considerable amount of experience in other areas which are related to the subject, including Health and Safety, Food Hygiene and Pollution. If you are involved in the licensed trade, then we can provide one stop shop for all your legal needs.
