Gambling and liquor licensing

We can help you review your licensing requirements and offer specialist advice to make sure you comply with current legislation.

With three major pieces of legislation to navigate – the Licensing Act, the Gambling Act and the Private Security Industry Act – the fundamental concepts and procedures of licensing are fast becoming more complex. In this landscape, some organisations are even unknowingly acting in ways that leave them open to prosecution.

Our aim is to help you understand licensing legislation and minimise risk by reviewing your licensing position and providing specialist legal advice that ensures you keep your licence and continue the business activities that are integral to business survival and success.
