Please read about our:
Hugh James legal licensing services
We take pride in delivering a friendly,
efficient and cost-effective service to all our clients.
We offer a full range of licensing services to
provide you with the advice and assistance that you need to get
your operation up and running - legally and safely – enabling you
to concentrate on developing a successful business.
Furthermore as a licensed premise you are
regulated by not only the Licensing Authority but also other
authorities in relation to health & safety, weights &
measures, food safety, trading standards, disability discrimination
and door security.
The Hugh James licensing team combines
expertise in both licensing and regulation to ensure that you have
the right support for your needs.
We are recognised by the Legal 500 and
Chambers as the leading provider of licensing advice in South
Wales, while Mark Perry is ranked as one of the principality's
leading individuals.
We deal with all aspects of liquor licensing
& gambling including:
- premises licence applications
- internet and actual betting and gaming license
applications
- variation applications
- designated premises supervisor variations
- personal licence applications
- objections & temporary events notices
- initial applications & transfers
- appeals and breach proceedings
- gaming machine licences
- pools and lotteries applications
- street trading & pavement licences
The team frequently acts in applications for
betting and gaming licences under the new regime which governs
them.
The team has developed a “licensing health
check” toolkit which focuses on the auditing of the due diligence
systems of off-licenses for compliance. It is a value for money
solution for all licensees.
Our licensing clients range from
individual bars, pub chains, restaurant chains, stadiums, betting
offices, theatres, cinemas, hotels and an impressive range of large
scale event licensing.
With a background in regulatory crime,
