Agricultural Team
Property
We have traditionally acted for many local farmers and landowners on the sale and purchase of land or on
landlord/tenant issues. Recently we have had many more instructions relating to the change of use of
property following diversification.
Capital Tax Planning
Much of our agricultural work centres on effective capital tax planning and trust and general estate
management. We regularly work with local farming organisations or land agents to run agricultural seminars
on this subject.
Employment Matters
We are increasingly being asked to do 'preventive' work on employment contracts and have an expert team to
deal with such queries.
