How We Can Help

Our Licensing Solicitors understand the rigidness and complexity of UK licensing law and how there is no room for mistakes. If your license has been revoked or you have been accused of breaching a licence term, we will provide practical, tenacious, and strategic legal advice and representation.

Our experience ensures that we can swiftly identify why your licence has not been granted and provide practical, sensible advice as to how you can change the situation.

Losing a licence can have a devastating impact on your life and even cost you your job. Our Licensing Solicitors will fight tenaciously to help you retain your licence and provide expert representation at appeal hearings.

Our Licensing Law Solicitors can help you with a full range of matters, including but not limited to licenses concerning Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO), firearms, taxi driving, driving licences (including HGV), Security Industry Authority appeals, and DBS appeals. Regardless of how complicated your case is, we can provide the expertise and experience you need.

Many licence applications require a DBS check. If you have been placed on a DBS barring list, your licence application may be refused and your future plans jeopardised. Our specialist Licensing and DBS Check Solicitors can assist in addressing the problems that might arise from being barred or certain information being disclosed. We can seek agreement from the police to allow you to make a representation to them before they decide whether to include a particular entry on the DBS certificate. Our team can also advise you on providing representations directly to the Disclosure and Barring Service and making an appeal.
