Some of our experts
Richard Bunch
Richard was formerly the Met’s Licensing Officer for Westminster and, as such, was responsible for overseeing more than 6,000 licensed premises. He’s one of our go-to experts when clients need advice on compliance, disorder, security – anything that’s likely to affect the smooth running of a hospitality business.
Jim Sollars
With 35 years of police experience behind him – much of it on London’s Soho beat – Jim has seen pretty much everything, so when he advises on compliance or gives expert opinion on behalf of our clients at licensing authority meetings, everyone take note. His extensive knowledge of licensing law and his years of practical experience make him a go-to man for our clients.
David Nevitt
David is our environmental health expert and spent four decades working in this area throughout London. Whether it’s pollution, health and safety, noise nuisance or anything else affecting the environment around and running of your business, Dave will have the answers. Having advised on everything from London’s largest outdoor events to a licence for a small café, Dave’s considered opinion is as good as you’ll find anywhere.
Adrian Studd
Adrian can call on the experience of a career with the Metropolitan Police which saw him rise to Chief Inspector overseeing licensing across London and coordinating across the whole of England. Licensing covering the 2012 Olympics also fell under his remit and he has served on the Board of Best Bar None, the safe licence accreditation scheme and as a trained assessor for the Purple Flag scheme which focuses on safe town centres.
