What A Liquor Licensing Lawyer Can Do for You

If you are thinking about opening a café or club, you should get in touch with a lawyer specializing in liquor licensing as soon as possible. This also applies to anyone looking to alter how a current hospitality business operates as compliancy issues could pop up no matter your experience. If your restaurant or small bar is going to sell liquor, then you need to be in touch with an experienced lawyer that can guide you through the legalities and common pitfalls of the Liquor Licences application process. Staying compliant with the law will save you a lot of money and time in the long run.

In New South Wales, all hospitality businesses follow the Liquor Licensing Act 2007 that the Liquor & Gaming NSW enforces. Getting a liquor licence isn’t simple and there are many different types of licences to apply for. However, this is an excellent time to get one as the annual liquor licence fee and the typical charge for applying for a licence is currently waived.

Each licence comes with its own set of regulations and compliancy issues. Making sure your business stays legal is of the utmost importance as non-compliancy penalties can be quite severe and can lead to your licence being revoked and fined. That’s why having a lawyer specializing in liquor licences is so vital as they should fully understand the law and the specific circumstances your company is in.

Colin Daley Quinn’s liquor licensing lawyer is the experienced Matthew Williams. Matthew is able to advise your business on the following:

• What liquor licence best suits your hospitality operation;
• How to properly apply for your licence;
• If you need to make any changes to your business in order to meet the liquor licence requirements and how that will impact you long-term;
• What your company will need to do in the future in order to follow compliance guidelines;
• and how any potential breaches of licensing conditions and complaints should be handled.

To get the most out of your liquor licensing lawyer and make sure their knowledge is fully used, you will want to get them involved from the very beginning. This will allow them to make sure the licence application process goes smoothly as you are applying for the right licence and that you fully understand what requirements your company will have to meet. By planning ahead, it’s much easier to become compliant rather than attempting to change your business suddenly. He’ll also be able to speak on your behalf in negotiations with government bodies and your landlord to ease the burden on you.
