Agriculture

We have the largest team of Agricultural solicitors in the country, offering practical and commercial advice to landowners, farming businesses, landed estates, institutions and others with interests in land and the wider rural economy.

As well as a market leading Contentious Agricultural team, Michelmores also boasts a dedicated Rural Property team.

Informed and proactive, we understand the demands and requirements placed on those operating in the rural sector. As a client, you can expect us to have a thorough understanding of countryside issues, and to provide seamless advice on all aspects of your business, with one main point of contact. 

The Agricultural team is assisted by one of the largest and most experienced private client and tax teams outside London. In addition, the skills and experience of our Employment, Commercial and Energy and Renewables teams can be called upon to provide comprehensive advice to clients when required.

Not surprisingly, this ability to advise across all rural sector issues coupled with such depth of resources and experience ensures that we are seen by many as the leading firm for all agricultural law issues. After all, we write the leading text book for this practice area – the 10th edition of Scammell, Densham and Williams' Law of Agricultural Holdings was published in 2015.

As well as advising domestic agribusinesses we also have significant experience in advising on investments into the emerging markets, advising clients such as the African Agriculture Fund and AgDevCo.
