What can I do for you

Michael is joint head of the Food & Agribusiness sector at Mills & Reeve. His work includes advising farming companies, institutions, business and estates. As one of the leading national Food & Agribusiness practices, Michael advises on issues emerging from the rapidly changing sector and how these businesses can meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Supporting your ambitions

One of Michael's significant highlights involved advising Farmcare on its restructuring of its operational business covering more than 25,000 acres. This included advising on the overall structure and leading a multi-disciplinary team of lawyers working with the client and its other professional advisors on implementing the change. Nothing of this magnitude had been done before in the Agribusiness sector and involved designing bespoke solutions for various parts of the clients portfolio. The completion of this project meant that the client was in a much better position to react to the future challenges faced by the sector.

What do others say

Michael recently helped a corporate client on a significant acquisition and they said "Your ability to cut straight to the real issues was invaluable.  Without that approach we doubt the transaction would ever have happened"

What else should you know

Michael has had to become a real cricket fan, travelling far and wide to watch his three boys play cricket at a high standard.

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.
