Business advice
Rural Business, Land & Agriculture
Rural businesses require advice within the areas of employment law and property law, as well as those normally associated with commerce. In addition they can have the complications of wider family involvement. These can require particular business structures and succession considerations for the longer term. As our offices are within traditional rural areas, our partners and staff have established relationships over the years with the local farming community and we look to bring this experience to new clients.
