Nichola Ross

Principal Associate

What can I do for you

Nichola is a specialist in the food and agribusiness sector. She works with an array of clients helping them to achieve their objectives, whether that is refinancing and restructuring family holdings to fund and grow diversification projects, buying or selling land, negotiating specialist agricultural farming arrangements or assisting with a multitude of questions generated from managing rural estates.

Supporting your ambitions

A highlight for Nichola was working with a farming family to update their lending requirments with the bank, in order that the client could purchase some stratigic land, and have enough land charged to the bank to enable the family to take advantage of forthcoming opportunities, without the need to take on new charges. As Nichola had worked with the client for over fifteen years, she had a deep understanding of the client's property holdings and their ethos. This longstanding relationship was invaluable in managing the banking, corporate, private client and property teams involved in the tansaction.

What do others say

Nichola was part of the team that recently assisted Farmcare Trading Limited with the restructuring of its farming portfolio. Receiving a simple "thank you so much for all your hard work" is something Nichola always appreciates from clients and never takes for granted.

What else should you know

After working in Cambridge for 16 years before transferring to the Leeds office, Nichola now works remotely having relocated to Scotland, where her home office is situated (almost literally) on the banks of the River Tay, to the north of Perth.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
