Located in Chester, Shrewsbury, Altrincham and Wirral, our agricultural solicitors have supported the sector for many years, providing specialist legal advice to farmers, landowners, rural estates, and agri-businesses. 

Our team understands the unique challenges faced by rural clients from complex land disputes to succession planning and diversification into renewables. With a Partner-led approach and deep sector insight, we offer practical, commercially astute solutions that protect your assets and future-proof your operations.

Why Choose Our Farming Solicitors?

Through decades of close collaboration with farmers, rural businesses, and landowners across England and Wales, we have developed a reputation for providing support in out of the ordinary matters affecting members of the rural community.

We understand the pressures and priorities unique to the rural economy, from unpredictable regulation and subsidies to generational succession and land-based disputes. Our solicitors are fluent in the legal nuances of agricultural holdings, planning law, stewardship schemes, and diversification plans.

We’re also fully attuned to the reality of running a farm or estate in today’s economic and political climate. Our technical excellence and our commitment to long-term relationships ensures that our clients benefit from a Partner-led service, ensuring you have a consistent, senior point of contact who understands your business or personal situation and anticipates your needs.

Whether we are negotiating complex tenancy arrangements, resolving historical boundary issues, or guiding families through sensitive succession planning, we act as your strategic legal partner, not just your adviser.

Our advice is always shaped by commercial acumen. We don’t just tell you what the law says, we apply it pragmatically to deliver workable, forward-thinking outcomes that align with your objectives.
