farming and estates

overview

For many years FSP has provided first-class legal services to the farming community and to others involved with agricultural land. The FSP Farming Group brings together the combined expertise of specialist lawyers with many years of experience dealing with the often complex legal issues relating to agricultural land.

The need for sound legal advice on agricultural matters has never been greater. The new legal structure of farm support payments under the Single Payment Scheme and the additional grant aid available to farmers under the Agri Environmental Scheme amount to a complete overhaul of farm support in the European Union. This has created a labyrinth of complex legal issues requiring clear analysis and practical solutions. The changes have thrown up new challenges in land transfers and agricultural leases and our specialist lawyers can help you avoid the many pitfalls.

The FSP Farming Group is available to give reasonably-priced advice on all matters relating to agricultural law. We have considerable expertise and experience drawing up leases, licences and contract farming agreements and we deal frequently with sales and purchases of farm land.
