Agriculture & Estates
Brodies has long been a leading Scottish firm in this sector and we continue to provide a full range of legal services for clients in the agriculture and estates market. Our dynamic and innovative team cover a broad range of practice areas including:
- Private Client: we work closely with our Private Client Department who specialise in asset protection, succession planning, wills, trust and tax.
- Purchases & Sales: we have seen an increase in the volume of farm and estate sales and purchases, including acting for new clients capitalising on the increased spend of offshore money on Scottish land. The sale of land for development, including planning and tax advice, is a rapidly increasing area of business.
- Agricultural Tenancies and Estate Management: we advise clients on all aspects of the use of rural property, tenancy agreements, land reform legislation, and advice in relation to sporting rights, fish farming, crofting, minerals, telecoms mast agreements and historic houses.
And more specifically we specialise in:
- Renewable Energy Projects, Biomass and Biofuel: assisting with the complicated process of wind farm development and Hydro.
- Nature Conservation: negotiating management agreements for nature reserves and designated environmentally significant sites.
- Woodlands & Forestry: working closely with the corporate, planning and environmental teams in providing advice to institutional investors, private clients, and collective investment schemes.
We are ranked in the top tier for Agriculture & Estates by Chambers & Partners.
