Whether you're running a pub, club, restaurant, supermarket, hotel or off licence you'll need up-to-date premises and personal licences before you can start offering alcohol, entertainment or late night food to the public. However, the way you go about getting those licences - and some of the regulations that govern you once you are up and running - varies depending on whereabouts in the UK you are.
As one of the largest specialist licensing solicitors in the UK, we offer a wide range of training courses and qualifications for people working in licensed venues. Our training courses are broadly split into two groups - those which lead to professionally accredited qualifications and those that have been designed to improve on-the-job performance.
Gambling law affects everyone from pubs with slot machines to betting offices and super casinos. Unified across England, Wales and Scotland, regulation of the industry is strict with most businesses requiring an operating licence, personal licence and premises licence in order to trade legally.
To make matters more complicated, control over this regulation is divided between the Gambling Commission and the local authority in the area where premises are located.That means you'll need to satisfy the stringent demands of both these authorities in order to set up and operate any form of gambling business.

Alongside a premises licence an operator requires the proper planning permission. Without both the operation of the business may be illegal. Whether you are seeking permission for a new construction or seeking to change the use of an existing premises we can help. We can also help with variations to existing planning permissions which may restrict the activities or hours you can trade.
Whether you drive a Hackney carriage or private hire vehicle or simply act as an operator you are subject to the taxi laws. Either as a driver or operator you will be required to obtain the right consents and licences from the Local Authority and make sure they are kept in good order. We can also help you keep your licence if the road ahead is a little bumpy.
