James Anderson - Partner
View our solicitors' individual pages:
He has many years experience in licensing law, acting for a wide range of clients, based mainly in London, from individuals to major operators although (perhaps reflecting two of his outside interests) most of his clients are either pubs or restaurants. In the 2011 Chambers Guide, James “draws praise for his fine communication skills and proactive attitude”.
James was successful in a landmark case for a London bar in Westminster’s West End stress area, which was granted, extending trading hours by Westminster City Council. It was one of the first bars or pubs in the area to be granted an extension outside core hours. It was then granted further extended hours in an Appeal against the Council, one of only a handful of successful Appeals against Westminster in the stress areas.
James also lectures and trains local authority councillors and officers on licensing and gambling issues and speaks at a variety of licensing functions across the country.
