The Licensing Team at Birketts is well positioned to guide licencees through the significant changes brought about by the Licensing Act 2003, notably the change to dual licences comprising a Premises Licence governing both the sale and supply of alcohol and food and the provision of entertainment and a Personal Licence authorising individuals to sell alcohol.  

We act for pubs, clubs, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, entertainment complexes and off licences and are on hand to give practice advice to new and existing clients.

The team’s expertise covers the following areas:

• Liquor licensing
• Betting and Gaming
• Regulatory crime, including health and safety, food safety, underage sales, disability discrimination
• Planning applications, appeals and enforcement notices
