Security Industry Authority (SIA) Licensing

This complex area of law often involves investigation and prosecution by a Local Authority for non-adherence to Trading Standards, for instance, trademark offences or application by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) to revoke the necessary licence authorisation.

The ‘Get Licensed’ criteria is stringent, and if you are a door supervisor or an agent or company employing door or security staff in any role, our experienced and expert team can provide the guidance you need. We can assist with a range of common SIA-related issues that security-related businesses are likely to face, including written representations to the relevant body or attending the necessary Magistrates’ Court to appeal a decision.
