Rural Water & Equestrian

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.

This last Gypsy Day we’ve enjoyed helped farming families move properties, begin new ventures and embrace opportunities for the season ahead.  Behind every move is always a fascinating story of hard work and commitment.

We also 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, Water Services Act implications and environmental assistance
  • Succession planning, including relationship property
  • Employment advice, including of migrant farm workers
  • Advice on horse ownership structuring, syndication, leasing, agreements for sale and purchase, breeding agreements and formations of societies and clubs
