CLAIMS AGAINST AGRICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS

We have in-depth agricultural industry knowledge and a track record of litigation success. Claims against professionals can be sensitive and can have considerable impact on your business, or if you are a rural professional, your reputation.

We have successfully brought many claims against agricultural professionals and also defended many claims on their behalf. Our specialist Agriculture Litigation Team is independently recognised to provide a ‘Top Tier’ level of service and is ranked in ‘Band 1’ by the leading legal directories, ‘The Legal 500’ and ‘Chambers Guide’.

EXPERTS IN AGRICULTURE AND LITIGATION

Many law firms act for insurers and only represent professionals but because we act for both farmers and professionals, we are in a unique position to advise you on both sides of the argument and develop a strategy around that.

Fully immersed in the industry and panel solicitors for the National Farmers Union in more counties than any other law firm, we have extensive sector knowledge and can advise you on a wide array of professional negligence issues and claims.

We have an excellent track record in successfully representing clients in the highest Courts in the country and in Europe. This means we can confidently guide you through every stage of any proceedings. We also have vast experience in alternative dispute resolution including mediation, arbitration and expert determination.

Offering down-to-earth advice, regular communication and a transparent fee structure, you are assured of consistent support and clarity throughout your case.

Whatever the direction of your dispute, we draw on expertise from across our firm and external network of counsel and expert specialists to provide you with comprehensive support. Where appropriate, we work with your insurers or look at external litigation funding and the use of insurance to assist in funding your case.

Acting as National Farmers Union panel solicitors for more counties than any other law firm in the country, we have strong ties to the following:

• Agricultural Law Association 
• British Institute of Agricultural Consultants
• Central Association of Agricultural Valuers
• Country Land and Business Association
• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
• Tenant Farmers Association

We are also proud to be the sole designated legal contributor to the Farmers Weekly Business Clinic.
