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.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

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 solicitor Jessica Whitbourn

Jessica represented my company on the land purchase transfer. She was professional and always contactable. Which was essential when the vendors solicitor wasn't. I wouldn't hesitate to engage her again for future transactions or to recommend her.

Had an excellent experience working with lease extension team. Special thanks to Rebecca who took me through the whole process at an Initial inquiry and steered my case thoroughly throughout with her expertise.
