Change-overs

Back to Licensing

As is the case with many industries, personnel turnover is common in hospitality, either as a result of the ownership of a premises changing, or as part of a natural churn in staff or tenants. When these changes happen, it often means that applications need to be submitted to allow a licensed premises to continue to operate lawfully.

Our team has extensive experience advising on change-overs and are well-versed in dealing with applications to transfer Premises Licences, applications to vary the position of Designated Premises Supervisor, as well as associated matters such as Gaming Machine Notifications or Permits.

We work collaboratively with other departments across Harrison Drury to provide a fully comprehensive service to our clients, whether that’s working with commercial property to facilitate a transfer of the licence as part of an acquisition of a licensed premises, or to remove the administrative burden that licensing can present to owners of portfolios of licensed property. In either scenario, our team are well equipped with the capability to organise and oversee the requirements of large estates consisting of several premises, as well as acting for clients on individual issues as and when required.

We are able to act quickly and efficiently where deadlines require (such as when a licence lapses due to the holder passing away or becoming insolvent), and also offer a licensed estate management service incorporating an innovative online tool allowing access to all the documents held on a client’s behalf.
