Licensing solicitors - compliance & enforcement

Stephensons has a team of specialist lawyers who provide advice and representation to individuals and businesses attempting to navigate the complex licensing laws and requirements in place. We are able to act for clients across a number of sectors including alcohol and entertainment, restaurant and food, gambling, animals, and firearms and can provide advice and assist with a number of issues, including: Temporary events notices, licence reviews, local authority investigations, injunctions, and prosecutions.

Our specialist regulatory lawyers understand the pressure on businesses to ensure strict compliance with the laws and their own licenses. Breaches of these laws or breaches of a licence can lead to significant financial penalties, adverse publicity, and in some cases a custodial sentence. If you wish to protect your business or you have been contacted about possible enforcement action, it is extremely important to seek advice from a specialist before you take any action. Defending you and your business is our primary concern. If you require assistance, please contact our specialist lawyers on 0161 696 6250. Alternatively, please complete our online enquiry form and a member of the team will contact you directly to discuss your case.
