Quick guide to our agricultural law services

AGRICULTURAL, LAND & DEVELOPMENT SOLICITORS

Practical, responsive advice on agricultural law

The issues which affect agricultural land can be diverse and complex.

If you are an individual or business operating in the rural sector, you face unique hurdles and opportunities. Evolving regulation, taxation and a changing economic environment bring new challenges alongside those of death, succession and divorce.

Since our beginnings over 70 years ago, we have advised a broad range of clients from the rural community, from new buyers of farms and estates to those diversifying into new sectors or disposing of land for development.

Agricultural law advice for both rural businesses and farming families

...detailed knowledge and experience, as well as understanding the particular needs of different clients.''
