Licensing advice.
Applications. Representation.
LicenceRep is an independent licensing practice providing practical advice, assistance and representation to individuals and businesses dealing with licensing and regulatory matters.
From preparing and progressing licence applications to representing clients at licensing hearings, LicenceRep provides informed, practical support when it matters.
Practical support throughout the licensing process
Licensing can be straightforward... until it isn't.
An application may encounter an objection. A Licensing Authority may raise concerns. An existing licence may be suspended or called to a hearing. A regulatory issue can quickly become something with serious consequences for the individual or business involved.
LicenceRep provides independent assistance at each stage, from getting an application right at the outset to preparing and presenting a client's case when a matter comes before a Licensing Authority.
Our current casework practice is principally focused on taxi and private hire licensing, assisting drivers, vehicle proprietors and operators with licensing and regulatory matters.

Approach
Practical experience. Straightforward advice. Effective representation.
A licensing matter is rarely improved by unnecessary jargon or by making it more complicated than it needs to be.
What matters is understanding the relevant rules, identifying the real issues and putting forward a properly prepared case.
Whether LicenceRep is instructed to assist with an application, advise on a regulatory issue or represent a client at a hearing, the objective is the same: clear, informed and practical assistance focused on the matter at hand.
Independent means independent.
LicenceRep is an independent practice. It is not a firm of solicitors and is not tied to a Licensing Authority, operator, trade organisation or other professional practice.
Current practice
LicenceRep is broadly positioned as a licensing practice. Its present casework focus is principally taxi and private hire licensing.
