In this blog, we outline how an agricultural solicitor can help you.
Agricultural solicitors offer wide range of services. At Wayman & Long, our experienced agricultural solicitors in Suffolk can help you with:
Buying or selling a farm can be a complex and lengthy process that involves various steps and factors to consider.

As well as ensuring the process runs as smoothly as possible and providing peace of mind, our estate team can help with issues that may crop up, such as problems with rights of way, easements and the transfer or retention of any entitlement to subsidies.
A solicitor who specialises in farming can also help with the many issues that come with farming and running a farm business. In terms of environmental issues, we can help with ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance, dealing with contaminated land, resolving water issues and utilising renewable energy, including wind, solar, and biofuels.
If your farming business sources, manufactures and sells food to the public, we can also support you with food safety, including but not limited to food labelling, product recall, and regulatory enforcement.
An agricultural solicitor can also offer advice on other commercial matters, such as contractual arrangements and rights protection.
Disputes are, unfortunately, extremely common within the agricultural sector. From disagreements over land occupation and boundary issues to more personal matters relating to divorce or succession planning, our seasoned agricultural solicitors can help you resolve issues with professionalism and compassion.
