Deans Court licensing team are regularly instructed to represent and advise applicants, local authorities, objectors and interested parties in respect of all matters for which a licence is required.

The team offers formidable advocacy combined with a thorough knowledge of the law and a sensitive approach to client care. Clients can rely on the team to deliver highest quality representation at all levels from local authority licensing committees through to appeals to the High Court.

At Deans Court Chambers we recognise that licensing matters can often involve controversial, sensitive and difficult issues, and we seek to provide a sense of direction for our clients in an area of law subject to ongoing legislative change and public scrutiny.

We can make ourselves available at short notice to respond to closure notices which can prove costly to businesses if not dealt with appropriately.
