Licensing law specialist joins Legal & Financial 100

John Gaunt of John Gaunt & Partners, a niche licensing practice established over 13 years ago, to provide a dedicated, first class, proactive and cost effective service to meet the needs of those active in both the on and off-licensed trade has joined Legal & Financial 100.

John believes that the market leading knowledge of his team combined with an understanding of their clients’ business has developed a dedicated service and expertise substantially un-paralleled within England and Wales in the field of licensing.

Following substantial and ongoing investment in the infrastructure and technology of the firm, the firm is ideally placed at the forefront of developing legislation to build strong relationships with existing and new clients and service all their needs; from a simple change of management, development of sites from Greenfield to opening, dealing with regulatory issues and in all aspects of the licensing of significant estates to give clients the edge in a fast moving environment.

The firm has consistently been recognised as nationally one of the “best of the best” in this field by such independent publications as the Legal 500 and in Chambers & Partners - the latter states that they are an “efficient and reliable practice (which) offers a level of client involvement that is lacking at many competitors,” (2008).
