Rural & Water
Dreaming of … being a FARMER?
Leave the “legal speak” to us so you can focus on running the farming business. We act for a broad range of rural clients including family-owned farms, farming syndicates, sharemilkers, irrigation companies, suppliers, farmworkers and rural families.
We’ve recently advised members of the rural community on the implications of the Water Services Act which will bring about significant change.
We acknowledge that health and safety, employment, environmental and foreign ownership matters are becoming increasingly onerous on the rural sector, and we’re here to help.
Our rural services include:
- Farm sales and purchases as well as farm leases
- Subdivisions, easements and covenants
- Ownership structures including farm syndications or equity partnerships
- Shareholders agreements, sharemilking, contract milking or grazing agreements
- All aspects of contract and commercial law
- Funding and security arrangements
- Water rights, consents and environmental assistance
- Succession planning, including relationship property
- Employment advice, including of migrant farm workers
- Immigration
