Services for the Licensed Trade

Comprehensive advice and support for the licensed trade from Thorntons specialist Licensing team.

For tourists and locals alike, the hotels, pubs, restaurants and clubs across Tayside, Perthshire, Angus and Fife play a key role in making this a popular part of the world to visit, stay and enjoy. But running such licensed businesses can be stressful, with a raft of legislation and strict parameters to comply with.

At Charles Anderson & Co Solicitor, we appreciate the unique pressures you often work under when running a licensed business and have a wealth of experience in dealing with all licensing issues for clients. Our specialist Licensing team acts on behalf of a large number of publicans, hoteliers, restaurateurs, nightclub owners and sporting and social clubs. We can advise you on all aspects of licensing, including:

  • Applications for premises and personal licences
  • Applications for off-sales, taxi, public entertainment, later hours catering licences and for specific events where alcohol is sold
  • We can also represent clients before licensing authorities.

In addition to our specialist licensing team, our Commercial Property team has experience of dealing with all aspects of the acquisition of licensed premises and work closely with our specialists in other disciplines to deliver a comprehensive service to the licensed trade.
