Agriculture
Our agricultural department is made up of solicitors who are members of both the County Landowners Association and Agricultural Law Association. Working from our base in the Sandbach office the department has developed longstanding relationships with our clients and land agents both regionally and nationally. Having a strong local base allows our agricultural lawyers in Cheshire to understand the needs of all of our clients and apply that to other clients across the country.
Headed by Mike Bracegirdle, who himself remains involved on the family farm, and assisted by Kate Heath, the department brings together with the skills and knowledge of solicitors working across several departments, reflecting the diverse need and requirements of the farming community.
