Helping you confidently and legally serve alcohol
Navigating alcohol licensing regulations can be overwhelming for bar owners, restaurant managers, hotel owners, and festival organisers due to their constant evolution. Securing the necessary licences before you begin trading is crucial for legal compliance.
We provide comprehensive support for alcohol licensing, including application preparation, compliance and legal advice, handling objections and appeals, and ongoing support for renewals.
Our alcohol licensing services include advising you on the following:
- Premises Licence – Essential for opening a bar, pub, restaurant, or new establishment.
- Temporary Event Notice – Necessary for organising events with alcohol service, late-night refreshment, or regulated entertainment.
- Pavement Licence – Permitting ‘alfresco’ dining on public areas.
- Licence extensions and amendments – When modifying licence conditions is needed.
- Licence reviews – Guidance on addressing unfavourable decisions effectively.
- Licensing breach cases and revocations and appeals – Experience in representing clients facing legal actions for underage sales or licence breaches.
Attempting to manage licensing matters without the assistance of experienced legal specialists can result in costly consequences for you and your employees. Partnering with Laceys for your alcohol licensing needs ensures you benefit from our expertise, allowing us to handle the legal requirements while you focus on running your business stress-free.
