Legal support for the private security industry
The SIA regulates everything from static manned guarding, key holder duties and door supervisors to close protection and CCTV, so its remit covers businesses including pubs, restaurants, clubs, hotels, sports venues, concert venues and festivals.
If you’re subject to its licensing requirements, our straightforward, pragmatic approach and our relationships with the SIA and other agencies across the UK enable us to secure and safeguard your licence with the minimum of fuss.
We’re experts in this area of law and are experienced in using the SIA published guidance to provide advice and support, no matter what circumstances, helping to protect your business and its reputation.
Our SIA specialists can help you across a range of issues
We work with our clients on licence refusals, suspension and revocation of licences, investigations and meetings with the SIA investigators. We also assist with interviews under caution (PACE interviews), prosecutions and appeals – such as provision of services without a licence or deployment of unlicensed individuals – and provide advice for individuals who fall within the SIA’s ‘Consider Additional Factors’ (“CAF”) category. We can also help if your of Approved Contractor Scheme (“ACS”) accreditation has been withdrawn or you are facing withdrawal.
