This work covers disputes arising from farming activities in England, including issues between landowners, tenant farmers, suppliers, and buyers, as well as regulatory and environmental challenges that affect farms. A solicitor handling farming disputes represents clients in litigation or alternative dispute resolution related to tenancy, boundaries, livestock and crop issues, and contractual debts with suppliers, contractors or processors. They draft claims and defences, gather farming records, survey documents, tenancy agreements, and register notices, and negotiate settlements or court orders.
