Licensing

In 2006, Chambers brought together under one roof many of the leading practitioners in the field of licensing law, allowing us to become the leading set in licensing. This initiative reflected our conviction that both the Licensing Act 2003 and the Gambling Act of 2005 have ensured that licensing law generally is now inextricably linked with local government and planning, where we have for many years been regarded as a leader in the field. Our position in licensing is now similarly rated in the guides to legal practices.

Those seeking advice or assistance come for both the public and private sectors. Whilst our private clients include many of the country's largest commercial operators, Chambers maintains the traditional independence of the Bar, being respected for its commitment to community and interest groups.Members appear on behalf of local authorities, police, small businesses and individuals alike.
