Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner‘s dedicated London-based licensing team counts household names such as Tesco as key clients, and is prominent in the retail and hotel sectors. As well as advising on day-to-day licensing issues and assisting clients with licensing applications, particularly for gambling and alcohol licences, the team acts for clients with large developments, and assists developers with complex issues relating to licensing such as cumulative impact policy. In addition to its regulatory advice, the group is able to lean on the experience of practice head and associate director Jeremy Bark who, as a solicitor advocate, has a history of acting in licensing disputes, with a contentious offering including appeals at the High Courts in the UK.
