Mary Wathen, Partner, Head of Agricultural Property

I love the countryside and I’m always keen to see the rural economy succeed. As I grew up on a family farm, I know how important this way of life is to people. Farming is very much a business, but there are many other things specific to the industry to consider when helping support clients in this sector.

I work on all things ‘property’ – helping clients to buy, sell, let or mortgage land, farms and property. The people I represent range from farmers and landowners to landed estates and businesses. Whoever they are, I explain the legal paperwork clearly, making sure they understand exactly what they are doing and why. I take my time to find out what makes my client tick, and I ensure they understand everything before they sign it.

Outside of work, I enjoy being out in the countryside and spending time with my chocolate Labrador, Milly.
