Having offered advice and guidance on the initial proposals and introduction of the Single Farm Payment (SFP), Withy King’s agriculture and rural property team recognises the importance and implications of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms, as well as appreciating the continuing need for diversification to stay ahead in this complex and rapidly-changing business sector.
As panel members of the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC), and professional members of both the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) and the National Farmers’ Union (NFU - for whom we advise as part of their 24-hour Farmers’ Crisis Network advice line), our lawyers have extensive knowledge of the agriculture sector.
We work closely with landowners, agri-businesses, land agents, architects, planning consultants, chartered surveyors and other agricultural professionals. We offer the full range of legal services from property a cquisition and disposal and various commercial agreements, to telecommunication mast licenses.
Our level of involvement gives us an in-depth understanding, helping you navigate the regulatory minefield and maximise the opportunities presented by various diversification projects. As a result, Withy King is increasingly chosen by clients in preference to City-based and national law firms.
