Licensing
All public houses, restaurants and nightclubs have to have a Premises Licence to be able to sell alcohol. An applicant chooses the conditions attached to the license, which define how the business is run. Many premises offering entertainment or late-night refreshment may also need to apply for a Premises License. As such, it’s important to give serious consideration to the nature of the conditions to be added when making an application.
Additionally, anyone who plans to sell or supply alcohol or authorise the sale or supply of alcohol must apply for a Personal License. The team at Rogers & Norton are able to make Personal Licence applications or advise clients on making the applications themselves.
We are also able to advise on Temporary Event Notices and whether it would be more appropriate to apply for a Premises Licence.
As well as assisting you with licensing, we are able to advise on a number of other matters surrounding the sector:
- Commercial contracts
- Employment
- Finance
- Insurance claims
- Intellectual Property rights
- Land issues
- Product liability
- Sale or purchase of a business or property
