What the Team is Known For

TLT has a highly respected UK practice that covers the full range of premises licence matters. Liquor licensing is a key area of focus, and the team is especially active in the food and drink and retail sectors. The firm enjoys a fine reputation for its representation of music festival clients with regard to licence applications and enforcement matters. TLT is equally capable of representing both single-premises clients and large chains.

Work Highlights

  • TLT represented St Austell Brewery in supporting the licensing authority in an appeal brought by a local resident against a decision to licence an external bar at the Rising Sun in Bath.
