Variation of License
We were highly recommended to this firm of solicitors for their professionalism, Licensing knowledge & tenacity when dealing with the local authority. And we were not disappointed! From our initial meeting, to the Variation being granted, we were kept up to date at all times & each step was discussed in full. We really felt that David felt our total frustration & fought our corner brilliantly. His knowledge of Licensing Law is just fantastic, in fact the whole team there are so supportive too. Would recommend this company in a heartbeat

Outstanding
Having experienced some severe licensing issues we contacted Dadds and they absolutely saved our business. David took on our case and instantly got things moving in the right direction for us. What was looking like a protracted case was turned around quickly and efficiently with the help of Jean who was always on the ball and available with any advice we needed. We cannot recommend enough.

Excellent, above and beyond
I had the pleasure of working with a David Dadds who was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with a suspended premises licenses. They provided me with clear and concise advice, guiding me through the entire process and ensuring that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently.
Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best outcome for me was truly remarkable. They kept me informed at every stage of the process and provided regular updates, giving me complete peace of mind throughout.
Overall, I cannot recommend David and his team highly enough. The service they provide is truly exceptional and himself is an expert in his field. If you are looking for a reliable and professional legal service, look no further than David, Thank you once again for your amazing work!

15 years working with Dadds and 100% success
I’m in property & hospitality. I’ve been working with Dadds LLP for 15 years and have had 100% success. This is because we are good at what we do and Dadds are brilliant at what they do. Some complicated premises licensing applications were achieved with Dadds guiding the applications from start to finish. They never give up.
