Coronavirus update

Bakers Solicitors remains open for business and available to support the clients who need us.

Our solicitors are working, our telephone lines are open, and we are determined to ensure it is ‘business as usual’ with minimal disruption.

Technology allows Bakers Solicitors to continue representing clients who face personal difficulties. All our staff members have access to laptops and our staff are well equipped to work remotely. We have invested heavily in IT in recent times, including a state-of-the-art internet-based telephone system and cloud-based software. This enables us to keep disruption to an absolute minimum.

Whilst our offices will remain open, we will, in most cases, conduct client meetings by telephone or video conference. Most importantly we will continue to be available for existing and new clients.

Our family law solicitors are familiar with the recently published guidance from the President of the Family Division and as such will be able to represent clients at court hearings remotely or in person. Our criminal defence solicitors are well-used to video link technology but will also continue to attend police stations and courts in person when needed.

Licensing Reviews

There are unfortunately times where licensed premises come to the notice of the authorities for the wrong reasons. Whether it be for selling under age or failing to comply with the conditions of the premises licence. A possible outcome is a review of the licence.

In such circumstances the licensing authority will convene a hearing, whereby the responsible authority such as the police, environmental health, trading standards and the public, can make representations and call for the licensee to be reviewed.

The local authority licensing committee will preside over the hearing and decide on what sanctions, if any, should be taken against the licensee, the staff or the premises. This can be an extremely stressful time for the licensee, with the threat of losing your premises licence a reality.

With extensive experience in representation at such hearings our licensing team will offer support and do all they can to minimise the disruption to your business. You will be represented throughout the process and, where appropriate, through to any appeal procedure that may be required.
