Danielle Spalding

Danielle is the Principal Director in the Farms, Estates and Rural Land team. She works on rural business and agricultural disputes such as partnership disputes, landlord and tenant claims, issues relating to restrictive covenants, proprietary estoppel claims and a range of Agricultural Holdings Act matters. She also advises landowners on the Electronic Communications Code. Danielle acts for a wide range of rural clients including landowners, landed estates and others with an interest in the rural land market such as major banks and property developers.

Danielle has a thorough understanding of the rural market that her clients operate in enabling her to offer practical solutions that work. A highlight in her career to date has been using this insight in one of the first test cases to go through the Tribunal after the introduction of the new Electronic Communications Code in 2017.

Dog walks, trail running and cycling are Danielle’s favourite ways to wind down after a day in the office.
