Licensing Act 2003 - Do I need a solicitor?

Licensing Act 2003

Solicitors and Licensing Consultants

There is no legal requirement for you to employ anyone. The law is however new and you may find it helpful to use their services.

Once a Premises Licence has been granted it does not expire and only requires that an annual maintenance charge be made.

A Personal Licence lasts for 10 years and does not require the payment of an annual charge.
