Sellick Partnership are proud to be recruiting for a Licensing Solicitor for a well‑respected Local Authority based in the West Midlands. The role will be for an initial 6 months, with the possibility of extension.

The Licensing Solicitor will have experience in licensing and contentious regulatory matters across the Public Sector or private sector, and daily duties may include (but are not limited to):

• Handling a licensing caseload from start to finish including Private Hire, Taxi Licences and Premises
• Advising and advocacy both in internal mini‑committees, full committees and Courts
• Private Hire Taxi Appeal hearings
• Drafting summons, indictments, case summaries and disclosure requests
• Attending Magistrates Court, committees and meetings including dealing with the Court lists

The Licensing Solicitor will ideally come from a public sector background, although candidates with relevant experience in private practice are encouraged to apply.

This role is offering hybrid working conditions, with some attendance at conferences and committees as required. These will be infrequent and this is a very flexible client.

We encourage interested applicants to apply immediately to be considered for short‑listing. Alternatively, should you require further information or wish to discuss your suitability before applying please contact Kate Jasper in our Manchester office for a confidential discussion.
