Taxi & Private Hire Licensing
Appeals & Expert Advice
Your taxi or private hire licence isn’t just paperwork — it’s your livelihood. With tighter regulations, even small issues can lead to suspension, revocation, or harsh licence conditions.
Whether you’re facing an urgent decision or an unfair restriction, expert legal support is essential.
Facing Licensing Action? Act Fast
Licensing authorities have broad powers — but these can be applied unfairly. We regularly help drivers, operators, and vehicle owners respond to:
- Suspensions or revocations (often immediate)
- Refused licence applications or renewals
- Unworkable conditions added to licences
Most appeals must be lodged within 21 days — delays can cost you your right to operate.
