Agricultural & Estates
Farms, rural businesses, and landed estates, many of which have been in the family for years, sometimes for generations, are continually facing new challenges, partly due to outside influences (such as changes in fiscal legislation, in European policies, in economic conditions, in national sentiment with regard to the environment and welfare), and partly due to age old issues such as primogeniture, death, debt, and divorce.
As an owner of a rural business or landed estate, it is essential that you seek legal advice from a law firm which has long experience of such issues, and can advise you on all relevant issues, from the short term challenges of day to day management, to the more intricate questions of choosing the most suitable ownership structures for the long-term.
