The sixth edition of our Agricultural Newsletter is now live

“You couldn’t write it, could you? If you had said 12 months ago that we would be on our third Prime Minister in 2 months, with inflation in double-digits and interest rates rising fast, few would have believed you. But here we are.

For farmers, the transition to ELMS and SFI is still unsettled. The window to apply for the lump sum exit scheme has closed, with a reported several thousand applications to take the money and retire. Succession planning remains the burning issue for many, and with a Chancellor needing to find some money the tax outlook could change markedly.

We’re just glad to still be here and working on your behalf, with both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners again ranking our agriculture team in their highest possible bands for the quality of advice we give. Nothing is ever certain, as the last few months proves, but we hope that we can help wherever it takes you.”
