John Gaunt - Partner

 

John Gaunt and Partners and me… 
Along with Kate Redford I founded the firm in 1995.  Since then we have expanded our client base across all sectors of the leisure and licensed sector from major national operators, regional operators and the one offs.  In 2005 we successfully relicensed around 4500 premises during the implementation of the Licensing Act 2003.
I deal with all aspects of Licensing Law from large scale multi-site development projects to expedited reviews following allegations of serious violence or drug use. My reputation has been forged in the successful pursuit of contested applications across the country, appearing in many hundreds of cases for a range of clients over the past 25 years.
I am regularly invited to speak to trade and professional bodies regarding current and developing trends in the licensing trade.
My capacity to issue email updates of topical interest to the trade is legendary! Please sign up for our newsletter on the homepage.
