Receiving instructions from a diverse estate client base, the team at Withers LLP is recognised for its work on the full gamut of rural and landed estate mandates, with an uptick in instructions on the purchase of land for acquiring natural capital and rewilding, as well as guidance on forestry investment and BNG opportunities. Bertie Hoskyns-Abrahall and Matthew Woods jointly sit at the helm of the department. Management and succession support constitute a cornerstone of the former’s practice, while the latter regularly advises clients on retaining family assets and businesses. Edward Jarron offers a multi-faceted service, allowing him to support on development sites, the buying and selling of country houses, and renewable projects. David Holland comfortably handles the acquisition and disposal of rural property, and Tamsin Collingridge and Michaela Belham also come recommended.
