About
Provided by Ashfords LLP
We have extensive experience advising on the legal issues that can arise across the diverse range of business activities that make up the modern and ever-evolving food & rural sector, helping our clients to realise the full potential of their commercial operations.
We have a strong track record working with businesses across the chain including agricultural landowners, multi-generational farming businesses, tenant farmers, feedstock suppliers, food processers and producers and logistics businesses.
Clients instruct us to support on implementing longer term developments as well as their day-to-day legal issues. This can include buying or selling land or a commercial entity as well as negotiating commercial contracts in areas like logistics and product supply and distribution.
We regularly help secure funding to support diversification and growth, as well as advising on tax liabilities, subsidies or available reliefs. When needed, we help to manage disputes within the business or with third parties and can advise on restructuring or debt recovery.
With many agricultural businesses family or owner managed, we also provide tailored wealth management advice including support with succession planning and wider personal or family legal requirements.
