Agriculture & Rural Economy

We understand that in agriculture, more than in most business sectors, there’s often a thin line between your personal and business life. We can contribute to both through expert legal advice that’s delivered with a positive attitude and a very practical approach.

We have a breadth of expertise in agricultural issues – from tax and succession planning to rights of way and renewable energy. We regularly represent working farmers and rural property owners and have a track record in advising owners of landed estates and buying and selling large farms and the associated businesses.

You’ll find our team of agricultural specialists have a helpful and hands-on approach to any issue you bring to us. We’ll make a point of getting to know you and your business so that we understand exactly what you want to achieve in any situation.

Our services include resolving disputes (and going to Court or the Agricultural Land Tribunal if necessary) and also delivering the desired result in non-contentious cases. We have helped resolve many disputes through tactful negotiation, avoiding the need to go to court.

The 2011 edition of legal directory Legal 500 describes the team as "consistently good, knowledgeable, market-oriented and expert in its business".

The 2012 edition of Chambers rates the team as "commercial, switched on and pleasant to work with".
