Licensing at Scots Law 2026

We are delighted to be returning to the Hilton Glasgow* for the first in our Scots Law 2026 Conference Series, exclusively available to delegates in person on the day.

Our new conference, chaired by Stephen McGowan of TLT LLP, will take an in depth look at the most important developments in one of the most dynamic legal sectors, with sessions ranging from operating plans and activities to personal licences and street trading. Our new conference will also include our indispensable caselaw and civic government round-ups and a consideration of what Scotland can learn from the DCMS 2003 Act proposals.

Scott Blair of Terra Firma Chambers, Audrey Junner from Miller Samuel Hill Brown, Raymond Lynch of North Ayrshire Council, Piers Warne from TLT LLP and Gillian McNaught of Glasgow City Council will be joining Stephen on the panel.
