John Gaunt & Partners

“Our philosophy is to offer a service that is industry leading, bringing added value to our clients with a common sense, sound commercial approach to the advice which we give. This is a philosophy that every member of our team embraces and seeks to demonstrate every day.”

– Tim Shield, Partner

There are lots of large legal firms out there who dabble in licensing, gambling and regulatory matters but we are one of the few who specialise and therefore excel in these areas.

Whether you’re running a pub, club, restaurant, hotel, betting shop or off licence, we can help you get the licences or qualifications you need and if necessary, appeal decisions and fight enforcement action on your behalf.

Our track record is excellent in these matters because we recruit and develop the best people. All our solicitors, paralegals and administrative support staff are dedicated to exceeding the expectations of our clients and understand the nature of the businesses we work for.

That’s why we have a 24-hour helpline – because we know that our clients don’t operate in normal office hours, so we don’t either. This tuned-in approach has served us well. Since launching in 1995, we’ve become one of the largest specialist licensing, gambling and regulatory law firms with an enormous range of clients across England, Scotland and Wales.
