What we do
Agriculture, Estates & Crofting
With roots going back to 1829, we have long-standing connections with owners and occupiers of land. We are proud to have continued a tradition of being able to represent the farming and crofting communities whether it be landlord, tenant or owner/occupier not only in dealing with conventional issues but those evolving as a result of modern farming and diversification practices.

Company & Commercial
The Firm has been involved in a broad range of commercial opportunities from sole businesses, general partnerships, limited liability partnerships and principally limited companies.
