Licensing

We provide a comprehensive service that covers all aspects of the licence application process. From preparing the initial paperwork and making representations on behalf of our clients at hearings, we ensure that every aspect of their licence application is carried out properly. We also provide advice on other issues such as dealing with local authorities, enforcing license restrictions, and resolving any disputes related to licences.

We understand that each business has its own unique circumstances, therefore we provide bespoke advice tailored to our client's individual needs. Our advice can help ensure that applications are submitted quickly and efficiently, minimising delays in processing times.

At John Barkers we offer a wide range of services relating to alcohol and entertainment licences for premises including pubs, bars, clubs, “pop-up” premises, off licenses, restaurants, supermarkets and hotels across the UK. We can advise on all forms of licensing such as Temporary Event Notices (TENs), Personal Licences (PLs), Premises Licences (PLs) or Club Premises Certificates (CPC). Additionally we can advise on licence conditions imposed by local authorities and how best to comply with them in order to minimise disruption and maintain regulatory standards in line with current legislation.
