Great to conclude my first country house hotel deal of the year, in the beautiful surroundings that are the Mendips. As a junior lawyer I first cut my teeth in licensing, doing conversion applications for hotels in this neck of the woods. So it always b…lnkd.in/eK29Hhey

Another week and another successful licensing hearing for Simmons Bars.   This time preserving the Simmons' Bond Street premises licence, in the face of a review brought by residents, on the grounds of public nuisance. Something Simmons Bars firmly disput…lnkd.in/eRWdQTAy

Fantastic result last night by Niall McCann. Against policy, securing extra hours for our longstanding client Simmons Bars. Genuinely superb outcome. #simmonsbars #bars #london lnkd.in/eHgBFh29

Good to see that the old Club Aquarium site, whose premises licence we successfully salvaged from oblivion in 2021, will soon open as another NQ64 site. A great concept, blending to perfection cocktails and retro-gaming. I am sure this one will be anoth…lnkd.in/ehafxRTp

Some registrations are now taking over 18 months, so a strike would no doubt worsen that time lag. Fundamentally the Register is designed to be an accurate and complete mirror of the legal title. A lengthening registration tail is very much at odds with…lnkd.in/e-T2V5qi

Very pleased to be personally recognised in The Legal 500, both in Licensing and Commercial Property (Corporate Occupiers). Thank you to my clients and contacts for their kind words and feedback. And congratulations to all my colleagues at Keystone who h…lnkd.in/e5_uAhkZ

Caroline Daglish and I thoroughly enjoyed Proud City’s Bollywood show & meal - Mumbai Masala. Cannot recommend enough. Not a genre I knew much about, but was bags of fun, with stunning acrobatic skills by the dancers, topped off with lovely food & drink.…lnkd.in/e99k6wvs

Great to have been able to offer some pointers on the use of temporary external structures at the recent Caterer #OutdoorSummit If you missed it, you can see some of those, and a general round up, here: lnkd.in/eAv4SkTf

Looking forward to speaking at The Caterer #OutdoorSummit on Tuesday 26 April, on the use of outdoor space, to help maximise operator profit and service offering. With great thanks to Antonia Welch for arranging this for me. lnkd.in/evjCjPdH

Very good result for @SimmonsLondon on Tuesday night. Seeing off a largely speculative Review of the Premises Licence at their Farringdon site. Brought by a resident who moved into one of the flats above the venue on a short term let, then took a serio…lnkd.in/eFUxsYNK

Great to be up in London last night for the lovely CHPK drinks & celebration. Good to catch up with old faces, meet new ones, and to see the City sparkling and busy. #london lnkd.in/gXXV3dVB

With a masterful performance from Philip Kolvin QC, and unflappable expert assistance from Niall McCann, great result for Proud Embankment in front of Westminster Licensing Sub-Committee, keeping all their hours, and accepting some carefully targeted modi…lnkd.in/gEJDsqiz
