Why choose me

Because farms and the countryside are where I have spent most of my life, I really understand the people and the businesses in the countryside who I advise, so I can make sure my advice is both practical for their circumstances and commercially-focused. I work with farmers, landowners and a wide range of rural businesses, advising them on regulatory issues of all kinds.

The better I understand a client and their difficulties, the better placed I am to help. I always aim to remove as much stress from them as possible, and that means being accessible and focusing on their best interests at all times.

Outside work, running, Rugby Union (Saracens) and rural life are my passions.

Questions my clients ask me

It is very difficult to be accurate because so much depends on the nature of the problem, complexity, amount in dispute, approach taken by the other party and whether they act in person or are represented.

If you are successful, generally costs follow the event. That means you will obtain an order that the other party pays your costs. The courts manage and scrutinise costs in much more detail now and you will recover what is considered reasonable and proportionate in amount.
