Background

Agriculture & Farming Disputes

Our team of dispute resolution solicitors can help provide strategically sound-legal advice when agricultural or rural disputes arise. The department provides advice on an extensive range of agricultural and farming dispute matters, including complex commercial and property/tenancy matters.

The team regularly works alongside our other experienced departments to offer the most effective and economical way to resolve any disputes that may arise. In particular the department often collaborates with our private client and commercial property departments.

Our lawyers recognise that matters relating to agriculture and farming can be complex and involve rights set in contracts and statutes to name but two. With this being the case we emphasise that it is vitally important to seek professional advice when issues begin to arise. This ensures that we can enable you solutions to prevent deeper impacts for your business/personal life.

Experience

We are advocates in encouraging clients, where possible, to consider Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forms to resolve issues. Methods of mediation and negotiation can provide an amicable setting to seek an agreement.

However, in some circumstances, ADR is not appropriate for settling Agricultural Disputes and in court litigation is required. Our team have exceptional expertise in providing clear and concise instruction and guidance in court – having experience in presenting matters in both the High and County Courts.

Our agricultural disputes solicitors are able to provide straight-forward, tactical and effective guidance on a wide range on matters:

  • Agricultural Tenancy Disputes
  • Agricultural Property Disputes
  • Business & Partnership Disputes
  • Debt Recovery
  • Nuisance Claims
  • Professional Negligence
  • Shareholder Disputes
  • Supply and Contract Disputes
  • Survivorship rights

This a complex area of law and there are not many firms of solicitors that are able to provide advice/assistance in this area of law. We offer a personal service to clients to resolve their disputes as quickly and economically as is possible.
