Approach to costs
Solicitors at Humphreys & Co. always aim to approach
legal work in a financially-disciplined way. We offer
competitive rates. Our charging approach is both transparent
and geared to the options open to our clients. Our
solicitors generally charge by reference to time spent but
we can often agree fixed fees for specific work or in some
cases risk-adjusted funding structures.

Licensing applications & appeals
Solicitors advising on the licensing of all businesses in the entertainment
and leisure industries, from arcades to
zoos
|
Solicitors
here undertake applications for licences (liquor,
gaming, entertainment and leisure). There can be
few, if any, areas of regulated activity other
than licensing in which so forbidding a
combination of legal and administrative
requirements is encountered. These range across
statutes, regulations and bylaws and involve such
disparate bodies as licensing justices,
magistrates' courts, district councils, Customs
and Excise, the Gaming Board, the Police and fire
authorities.
Our solicitors are available to address the
licensing needs of the entertainment and leisure
industries, from cafes to restaurants and from
amusement arcades to zoos. They are able to assist
prospective licensees not only in identifying the
licences required but also in providing guidance
along the procedural route which should be
followed in obtaining them. Our solicitors aim to
anticipate the needs of licensing applicants and
to supply practical, constructive advice; for
example, as to notice requirements, fees, the
hearing itself, duration of the licence, grounds
for refusal, rights of appeal, procedures for
renewal and steps to be taken on transfer.

Independent approach
We are an independent professional law firm here, not a legal factory turning out mass-produced products. In our experience, determined case-handling is more likely to produce effective results.

Solicitors at Humphreys & Co. look to input not only
careful legal work and precision but also the determination
to keep matters moving. They aim to work in clients' real
interests with energy and pragmatism.

Communication skills
Solicitors at Humphreys & Co. always try to open up the
legal process by giving advice and explaining options to
clients in a concise and straightforward way, identifying
clear courses of action whatever the technical or legal
complexities of the subject. |
