    Licensing covers the regulation of selling alcohol, regulated entertainment, and certain gaming activities in England. A solicitor in this area helps premises license applications and variations, drafts and reviews licences and condition changes, represents clients at licensing committee hearings, and handles appeals or reviews of licences. They also advise on representations from local authorities, residents, and other stakeholders, and coordinate enforcement responses, regulatory compliance, and safeguarding measures to minimise disruption to business operations.
