Top 10 of 3,582 law firms for Pubs, Commercial Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Have dealt with numerous solicitors for commercial leases over the years and none before have come close to the efficiency and speed of Marc and Lil who make a great double act and get things done. Won’t hesitate to call on them in the future.

Rachel acted on this sale for us. It was a complicated process and she guided us though it in an efficient and professional manner. She was excellent at tying up loose ends and always followed up anytime anything slowed down. First class service and excellent communication.

The process to get Equity Release on our property was a very professional and knowledgeable experience. The whole formalities took less time than we anticipated. We would certainly use Hansells Solicitors again and would recommend them to others. Thank you
