Agriculture Law
If you’re a farmer or landowner, our department of specialist agricultural lawyers can help with all aspects of law affecting agricultural businesses and rural landholdings. Over the years, we’ve worked with countless farmers and landowners across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, East Yorkshire and throughout the UK.

Our appointment and subsequent reappointment as NFU Legal Panel for the East Midlands reflects our experience in specialist agricultural cases, as well as non-farming areas such as diversification, tax planning, probate, family law and conveyancing.
We were winners of the inaugural NFU Legal Panel Excellence Award 2017.
