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.

Elliott Brookes

Tagged solicitor Elliott Brookes

We were pleased to have Elliott's professional help following frustratingly lengthy and outstanding delays and uncertainties over an eight year old Overage Agreement, with building work no way near to being started. Elliott used his experience to carry out extensive and detailed work when writing to the Directors of the Development Company and working with ourselves. Elliott's expert input "fired a cannon" that had an immediate effect on the Development Company, who at last took action resulting in a fairly quick and satisfactory conclusion, for which we are very grateful.

Clare Waters

Tagged solicitor Clare Waters

Having gone through processes with solicitors in the past, you can often feel like you are irrelevant and they don’t care about your timescales and the pressure etc. Clare was fantastic from the word go. Her communication and explanation of the process was perfect and at no stage did we feel stressed even when things didn’t quite go as planned. I would highly recommend anyone going through a similar process to use Clare and should we be required to do anything in the near future, she will be our first choice. Thankyou!

Louise Cussen

Tagged solicitor Louise Cussen

From the moment I was recommended and spoke with Paul Robinson solicitors, I knew I was in safe hands. Promptly put in touch with Louise Cussen and her excellent support Elle, they both set to work in understanding the position I required assistance with and provided a complete support solution. I was well informed and respected throughout, communication was excellent and clear and any queries we're swiftly dealt with. Though not the cheapest, they are without a doubt worth every penny. My sincere thanks to you both and all at PRS
