Expert advice on all aspects of licensing in Belfast & Northern Ireland

We recognise that a licence is one of, if not the most valuable assets a business owns. McCartan Turkington Breen provides bespoke advice on all aspects of licensing law to ensure that our clients can secure and maintain the licences that allow them to trade. Our licensing law department is so well regarded, that it is currently ranked in the prestigious Chambers Guide.  We can help with intoxicating liquor licences, bookmakers licences, public entertainment licences and the registration of clubs.

Elements of licensing law that we can assist you with include:

  • First-time licence applications, renewals and transfers.
  • Applications for extensions of hours.
  • The sale or purchasing of a licence.
  • Consent and permission for alterations.

We are an advocate of our hospitality industry and are proud to have enabled many of Northern Ireland’s pubs, off-licences, hotels and restaurants to provide a top-class service to both locals and tourists. Our team is commercially focused and make a point of knowing everything there is to know about our clients’ businesses, sector and story. We are transparent and place emphasis on our open and clear communication with clients. That is why so many licence holders in Northern Ireland have used our services time and time again for many years.
