Sporting rights cover the rights to hunt, shoot, fish or otherwise pursue game and sport on land and may be owned separately from the land itself. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and reviews sporting rights agreements, leases and licenses, checks title to ensure the rights exist and are assignable, and registers or encumbers them where needed. They advise landowners, landlords, gamekeepers and licensees on securing and sustaining lawful access and usage, and on remedies if rights are breached or disputed.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Sporting rights involve formal agreements, liabilities for damage, licensing regimes, trespass issues, and potential environmental or conservation constraints. The solicitor handles drafting and negotiating leases or licenses, conducting due diligence on title and encumbrances, navigating any necessary plan or map approvals, and advising on enforcement, surrender, or variation of the rights as circumstances change.
