There are many circumstances that require a business or individual to hold a particular type of license in order for them to legally be able to trade in a certain industry or possess certain items. Application processes vary greatly depending on what type of license you are specifically seeking but they will all have an assessment of your suitability to hold this license within them. This will be evaluated against strict pre-determined criteria.
Should you be successful in obtaining your desired license there will be terms and conditions for you to follow.It is imperative you familiarise yourself with what could constitute as a breach of these as this could ultimately result in the revocation of your license and potential further penalties.
Operating without the required license is extremely foolish as if you are discovered to be doing so it is more than likely you will be subject to large fines and possibly even a custodial sentence.
Our licensing solicitors can guide you through the process of applying for the license you require and help with any related matters that may subsequently arise.
They can help you to apply for a license in respect of:
- pubs;
- clubs;
- hotels;
- restaurants;
- takeaways;
- off-licenses;
- gambling establishments;
- entertainment venues;
- organised events; and
- firearms.
They can also help with:
- variations to an existing license;
- alleged breaches of license terms;
- licensing issues where the police or licensing authority are involved;
- license reviews; and
- appeals against license revocation.
If you have been accused of having failed to obtain a license where required or any other criminal charge relating to licensing laws, our criminal law team is also on hand to assist.
