Knowing the law and options, to help you make well-informed decisions

Our team has extensive experience in all aspects of alcohol licensing law, along with the closely related and often overlapping area of resource management planning and consent issues. If you are selling or supplying alcohol to the public, you will usually need an alcohol licence from your local District Licensing Committee. We can guide you through the process and advise on a wide range of alcohol licensing matters, including licence applications and manager’s certificate applications. We work with businesses, individuals, and community organisations applying for licences, as well as those wanting to object to an application. Our specialist lawyers can help prepare and lodge applications or objections on your behalf, provide practical advice at every stage, and represent you at hearings at both local and national level.
