Agricultural Law

Williams Associates provides practical, informed advice across a wide range of agricultural law matters. We work closely with landowners, tenants, and rural businesses, as well as their professional advisers, to deliver clear guidance grounded in both legislation and agricultural practice.

Our advice covers issues governed by agricultural legislation, including:

• Matters arising under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986
• Advice relating to the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995, including Farm Business Tenancies (FBTs)
• Grazing and cropping licences
• Contract farming, share farming, and grazing agreements
• Rights of way, easements, wayleaves, boundary disputes, and compensation claims

This integrated approach ensures clients receive commercially sound and legally robust advice tailored to the realities of rural land management.
