Why choose me

Coming from a farming background, where my family run a considerable farm shop business, I have always taken an interest in the way that the commercial side of agriculture works. Now, as a lawyer, I specialise in agriculture and estates including sales and purchases of agricultural land and farms, dealing with landed estates, renewable energy, and other rural property matters including utilities services and easements.

I enjoy getting to know and working with local farmers. The farming sector works long unsociable hours so I make sure I’m always on hand whenever convenient. I like nothing more than getting out on a farm for a meeting and seeing the business at work. My personal approach means I develop long-lasting relationships.

I’m connected with local lettings and estate agents, as well as accountants, so I can make introductions for my clients too.

Outside of work, I’m a keen supporter of Saints Rugby in Northampton. My golf handicap of seven is slowly improving, and I obviously enjoy being out in the countryside!
