Agricultural law covers all areas of farming life, which makes it a highly specialised field.

 

Agriculture is an industry that intersects in very specific ways with many other areas in which legal advice can be needed. Strict regulations and standards must be adhered to.

 

Additional challenges can be created by the fact that farms often support multiple generations of the same family, with the farm being the long-established family business.
