While our Liquor Licensing services cover all requirements and applications under the Liquor Control Reform Act [1998], we also bring an acute understanding of due diligence, compliance issues, procedural requirements and up-to-the-minute advice surrounding this ever-evolving area of law.

• Applications for the grant of new liquor licences
• Transfer of existing liquor licences

• Planning permit applications
• Applications to vary existing licences, including variations to trading hours, patron capacity or red line plans
• Disciplinary proceedings against licensees or individuals
• Preparation of leases for licensed premises
• Sales and acquisitions of freehold properties (whether as part of a business transaction or subject to a lease of a licensed business)
• Sales and purchases of licensed businesses including all legal due diligence
