Pubs cover the buying, selling, leasing and operation of public houses and other licensed premises used for drinking and socialising. In England, solicitors who specialise in pubs help with negotiating and drafting leases, reviewing franchise or management agreements, handling transfers of licenses, and advising on business rates, covenants, and property disputes. They also assist with liquor licensing applications, variations to premises licences, and compliance with the Licensing Act 2003 and related regulations, ensuring the client’s licence and tenancy position are legally sound. This work is shaped by the need to balance property rights with regulatory requirements and the complex funding, trading hours, and safety obligations that affect pub businesses.
The solicitor handles complex lease structures, rent reviews, assignments and novations, and covenants affecting use and alterations. They manage the transfer or grant of the alcohol licence, the interplay with lease terms, and any enforcement or regulatory issues that could impact trading. They also navigate business rates, planning constraints, and potential disputes with landlords, tenants, or licensing authorities.

Tagged solicitors Sasha Loveridge and Yseult Fell
I have to say hands down Sasha and her team at Pardoes went above and beyond in my sale and purchase. What should have been a straight forward sale, my buyer complicated and caused delays. Sasha, kept me informed, calmed, and was really quick with responses and turn around. She is the reason we got it finally pushed through. I would highly recommend using their services, I don't think it would have gone the same way without them.

I used Katie at Hall Reynolds when buying some land from a neighbour. It was painless and all came together well. I would use them again.

Tagged solicitor Alyssa Hill
I would like to thank Bank Solicitors, in particular Alyssa Hill, for assisting my Solicitor, Hayley Tenney. Alyssa was the first person I spoke to when I rang for a quote. She was very professional and responded by email the same day with a quote. I met her several times when dropping off documents and she was always very polite. On completion day, Hayley was away but she had left instructions with Alyssa so that the sale could go through in her absence, which it did.

Tagged solicitor Frances Dulla
We recently needed help with a commercial matter which was time sensitive. After calling Frances not only was she competitive on price but accommodated us by staying late on a very hot day. Everything was handled professionally and we are very grateful to her for above and beyond!
