What can I do for you
Katharine advises landowners, landlords, tenants and lenders in respect of agricultural property matters and emerging opportunities in natural capital. She provides straightforward, commercial advice to clients, tailored to their particular circumstances. This includes all areas of rural property matters from agricultural tenancy advice, to disposals and acquisitions, strategic land opportunities and secured lending.
Each client is different and whilst all lawyers should know the law, Katharine aims to add value by understanding your business and your family, and tailoring her advice to you.
In addition to traditional agricultural property work, Katharine works closely with other specialisms. This helps clients to navigate their current position and future business plans, including bringing in the next generation with surrounding protections. As farming businesses evolve, this sometimes brings with it the need for change and Katharine works with other specialisms to help clients to restructure their business to accommodate for this.
