Agricultural Law

We have a deep connection with agriculture. We offer first class service to our clients when buying or selling land.

We understand the practical considerations farmers have and we ensure to address any issues that arise. We have for decades worked with families in passing the farm or business onto the next generation. We provide guidance on aspects that require consideration and, crucially, we advise on the relevant aspects of taxation. Capital Gains Tax, Capital Acquisitions Tax and Stamp Duty must be considered in each transaction as well as the various reliefs that exist, which is a service provided to countless clients over many years.
