Agriculture

As every year passes the British Farming Industry faces more and more of the corporate problems traditionally common elsewhere in commerce.

We have extensive experience in advising farmers, land owners and all agricultural businesses and, in many cases, have done so for a number of generations, We understand the problems farmers have and assist both smaller family run farms and larger businesses and fully understand their particular needs and pressures.

In addition to the conveyancing aspects of buying and selling farmland and buildings, we advise on:-

• Government and EU Legislation such as the imposition and disposal of milk quotas and set aside policy
• Whether your business should be conducted through a medium of a partnership or a limited company
• The complexities of Landlord and Tenant Law particularly with reference to the Agricultural Holdings Act
• Drawing up of agricultural Leases and Tenancy Agreements
• Rights of common and Rights of way
• Boundary disputes
• Wayleave Agreements
• Employment Contracts and claims
• Planning and Development issues
• Diversification of your business
