WORK THE FARM WHILE WE WORK FOR YOU
Our rural team knows what it means to run a farming business (most of them do it themselves too).
Whether you’re buying or selling a farm or horticulture business, thinking about subdividing, or planning ahead for the next generation, we can help. We work with your accountant to identify tax and commercial issues and can advise you on business structures, usual industry practice and common fishhooks.
We also offer practical, pragmatic advice on day-to-day matters like employment law, farm health and safety compliance, commercial contracts, sharemilking arrangments and supplier agreements.
If things have gone a bit pear-shaped, we know how to get the best outcome for you. Our team is highly experienced in resolving sharemilking and other farming disputes by using the best tool for the job, including arbitration or going to court if necessary.
We know that all farms and families are different; let us use our depth of experience to find the best solution for your situation.
Do you need employment law advice?
Running any kind of farming operation brings with it unique challenges, especially when it comes to employing staff. Having workers living on farm, being family members, or even the physical nature of the job can all complicate the working environment. Having good employment law practices is more important than ever in this setting, but is often overlooked. We understand that as a farm owner or manager, you need efficient, practical solutions to staffing issues when they arise. Our experienced employment law team regularly support farming and rural clients and are well placed to set you up for success.
