Alun is co-founder of the firm. He has 30 years’ experience of licensing and related matters, including planning and regulatory crime.

Alun’s practice ranges from shopping centres and development work for landlords, including Shaftesbury, Capco, Argent, British Land, Soho Estates, Canary Wharf, Almacantar, Portland Estates, GPE and more to high-profile operators and most of London’s theatres. He represents many clients within London Boroughs, especially Westminster, where he has an unrivalled presence and experience.

The Royal Parks. Following complaints relating to noise from the 2011 concert program, the City Council instigated a licensing review.
