Step 3: Consider legal representation

Step 3 of 5

For serious reviews where suspension or revocation is possible, consider instructing a licensing solicitor. A specialist solicitor can:

• Advise on the strength of the case against you
• Help prepare your written response
• Negotiate with the applicant to resolve concerns before the hearing
• Represent you at the hearing
• Advise on appeal if the outcome is unfavourable

Many licensing solicitors offer a free initial consultation. The Institute of Licensing maintains a directory of accredited licensing practitioners.
