Agriculture

Based in the heart of the Westcountry, our local client base has included farmers and members of the agricultural community for many years.

With new European legislation and changes being constantly introduced, we play a valuable role in helping you and your business make sense of these and act accordingly.

A number of our litigation cases have included successful representation against DEFRA and we have particular experience in dealing with legal matters relating to heavy machinery, pesticides and toxic sprays.

We are able to offer specialist advice on diversification, from Europe wide Distilution Agreements to redevelopment options for industry, tourism and leisure and residential uses.

We also work closely with our Estate Planning department to ensure successful and tax-efficient succession arrangements are put in place.
