Taxi Licensing

Licensing taxis: what do I need to know?

Anyone wanting to operate a taxi will need a licence. While the process is relatively straightforward, it is always worth making sure you have met all the conditions. If you have applied for a licence but been refused, or if your licence has been revoked, there may be good reasons to challenge these decisions. myBarrister can put you in touch with a barrister who is expert in licensing who will be able to assist you quickly and cost-effectively.

The law about licensing for taxis is likely to be changed soon, following a consultation exercise that began in 2012. The new law is intended to clarify the distinction between black cabs and private hire trades (mini cabs) and which licences apply in each case. If you operate a taxi or minicab, your barrister will be able to advise on any changes that you need to make.

Why do I need a barrister?

Barristers are experts in the law. They are best placed to advise you on your legal position, draft legal documents, advise on formal proceedings and use their advocacy skills to represent you to the highest standard in any court, tribunal or hearing.

Which barrister should I choose?
