Liquor Licensing

If you are involved in the hospitality industry, you would be more than aware of the many legal issues surrounding liquor licensing and the bureaucracy involved when dealing with the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing, the Liquor Administration Board and the Licensing Court.

Whether you are setting up a new business and need to obtain a license, or you are simply trying to have changes made to your current license, the team at Maclarens can help.

We are one of a relatively small number of law firms in Sydney that has an in-depth understanding of Liquor Licensing legislation and regulations.

We can advise you in regard to the types of licences available, the requirements you will have to meet in order to obtain a licence, and successfully guide you through the application process.

Our experienced lawyers can provide practical, sound advice that can save you considerable time, effort and money when dealing with the various bodies involved. We can also represent you in the Licensing Court should you find yourself charged with breaching the conditions of your current licence, or facing complaints or disciplinary procedures brought by the Department or the NSW Police.

Our services in this field include:

• Representation in the Licensing Court
• Advice regarding types of licence
