Specialist Licensing Solicitors

With the implementation of the Licensing Act 2003 it is imperative that you obtain the very best legal advice in respect of the Personal & Premises Licence applications, as well as licensed property conveyancing. Irrespective of whether you are purchasing/leasing or selling through Guy Simmonds (and irrespective of location), our recommended firm of specialist lawyers will ensure a smooth route through the licensing maze, and will handle your entire transaction efficiently and at a highly competitive fee.

We recommend the Smith Partnership solicitors who operate on a national basis and have a specialist licensing team. We have a formal business referral agreement with them and have found their service excellent.
