Agricultural Law

Our team has extensive experience and a real understanding of the rural community here in Kent and Medway and we welcome the opportunity to discuss all agricultural and land related issues with farmers, fruit growers and vineyard owners.

In what for some are challenging times, we can support you in discussions regarding the diversification of your business, new income streams such as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), Solar Farm Agreements, residential and other developments.

We also advise on contentious matters including disputes, Health & Safety and regulatory matters, licensing, and employment. Gullands has supported the agricultural community here in Kent for decades, visibly demonstrated by our continued support of and attendance at numerous trade and community events including The Weald of Kent Ploughing Match, Gravesham Ploughing Match, The Kent Farming Conference, Farm Expo, The Kent County Show, Fruit Focus, The Vineyard Show and The National Fruit Show to name a few! Some of our individual solicitors also members of organisations including the Kent County Agricultural Society, the Agricultural Law Association, Canterbury Farmer’s Club and BIFGA.
