The world of all those individuals and businesses involved in the areas covered by these two landmark pieces of legislation has changed beyond recognition over the past 2-3 years.
In 2005 anyone who was affected by the Licensing Act 2003 had to apply for new style premises licences and many are still getting to grips with the changes, the review regime and applications for variation.
In 2007 it was the turn of those involved in the Gaming Industry who had to struggle with the burdens imposed upon them by the Gambling Act. The new Operating, Personal and Premises licence regimes made major changes to the way many ran their businesses
The impact of the Smoking ban in 2007 has caused yet more difficulties for those affected.
In early 2008 Peter Adkins joined the practice as a Partner in our City office and brought with him his considerable expertise in these areas of law. At his last practice Peter’s work in these areas was recognised in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 issues of the industry directory The Legal 500. Peter is also recognised as a Legal Expert in these areas and has a high level of expertise in the law as it affects Social and Members Clubs and late night refreshment houses. These two areas of law add new services to the wide range we can supply our clients.
In the area of Licensing and Gambling our clients are spread throughout the UK and we can assist all businesses with the effects of the new regimes. In the past 3 years Peter has conducted many training courses and seminars on the Licensing Act 2003 and the Gambling Act 2005. Apart from clients involved directly in the industry Peter also runs training courses for Licensing Authorities complying with DCMS guidance.
