Based at our dedicated agricultural office at Gadbrook Park, Northwich, and advising clients throughout the North West, we combine specialist sector knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach.

Our clients range from estate owners and landed families to tenant farmers, smallholders, and large-scale agri-businesses. Whatever the size or nature of the enterprise, we are committed to building long-term relationships and delivering advice that is both technically precise and grounded in a real understanding of the agricultural sector.

We advise on matters including:

• Farm and estate sales and acquisitions

• Land ownership and boundary issues

• Agricultural tenancies and licences

• Succession planning and inheritance issues

• Farming partnerships, joint ventures, and business structures

• Diversification projects and agri-business operations

By working closely with our colleagues in Company & Commercial, Commercial Property, Dispute Resolution and Private Client, we provide a seamless, multidisciplinary service designed to protect and enhance our clients’ interests. This collaborative approach allows us to address both day-to-day operational matters and longer-term strategic planning, helping clients to manage risk, unlock opportunities and safeguard their future.

Recognised for our depth of expertise and strong client relationships, our Agriculture Team has established a reputation as a trusted adviser to the rural community across the region and beyond.
