The radical reform of licensing laws involves the sale and supply of alcohol, entertainment and late night refreshment. The new regime not only affects pubs, bars hotels and clubs, but it also impacts on all owners, operators and their staff, including organisations such as schools, members' clubs, leisure centres and all places where public events are held.
Withy King recognises the challenges facing those operating within the licensed trade, as well as the significant opportunities for growth. We act for a wide variety of licensed venues, from clubs and pubs, to hotels and entertainment centres.
We are very familiar with the licensing reforms, as the head of our licensing team has over 26 years’ experience of licensing law and is a legal adviser to a new Licensing Authority. He is also a member of the British Institute of Innkeeping, a presenter on the National Certificate for Licensees and new National Certificates for Personal Licence Holders courses and the author of a handbook on the subject.
This level of involvement has given us insider knowledge into the problems and opportunities faced by those within the licensed sector. We offer specialist legal advice on liquor and entertainment licensing, both under the old and new regimes.
We offer a range of services on a fixed fee basis, as part of our commitment to delivering quality services in a timely, innovative and cost-effective manner. We also offer flexibility; our fixed fee packages can be enhanced at any time to include additional services.
The complexity of the current law means that maximising your commercial opportunities requires considerable skill and legal knowledge. We can offer assistance across the spectrum of licensing law issues to meet all of your commercial needs.
