Maitland Walker's Licensing Team

Maitland Walker Solicitors specialist licensing department has a national reputation and attracts a broad mix of clients ranging from large companies to individual entrepreneurs, all of whom recognise the team’s dedication and energy.

Both the Licensing Act 2003 and the Gambling Act 2005 have changed the face of licensing law in the UK.  Maitland Walker’s licensing lawyers have met that challenge and continue to use their understanding of the licensed trade to exploit the possibilities under the new legislation on behalf of their clients to encourage the continuity, flexibility and profitability of their clients.

Led by Lisa Croft and Sharon McCann, both ranked individuals in the current Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 legal directories, the team has extensive experience of all forms of alcohol, entertainment, betting and gaming licensing, and through its developing relationships with local authorities across England and Wales and its membership of the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR) continues to play an active role in shaping the future policy in the sector.

Lisa and Sharon are assisted by Ian Webb, Rob Westwood-Payne, Laura Smith, Denise Kerridge, Nichola Vaughan and Tina Edwards.
