Agricultural Disputes

The nature of our location and client base means that we have extensive experience in disputes concerning farming, agriculture, and food processing. There are many different types of dispute and different ways to resolve them.

Our expertise includes, but is not limited to:

  • Disputes concerning land and boundaries.
  • Disputes concerning renewables. 
  • Nuisance issues, including pollution, noise, and anti-social behaviour.
  • Contamination disputes. 
  • Insurance coverage disputes.

Neil John, our solicitor, was honest and fair, giving me independent advice on how to proceed with my claim. I felt supported throughout and although I was disappointed with the outcome, I was fully aware that it was the best outcome available. I cannot recommend these solicitors enough.
