How we can help
Our team of agricultural solicitors is overseen by specialist property lawyer and partner Brett Lawrence who regularly deals with rural legal affairs in the farming communities of Devon. The team also includes Helen Hine, herself a farmer’s daughter.
What makes us different?
In many legal firms across the UK, rural law falls between property teams and commercial teams, but at Slee Blackwell we do things differently. Our Rural and Agricultural solicitors in Barnstaple will take care of your affairs and are dedicated to providing clients with the service they deserve.
By opting for Slee Blackwell Solicitors, you can rest assured that your legal affairs will be managed by one specialist lawyer who will make it their job to understand your individual needs.
Our experience
Our team of agricultural solicitors deal with a broad spectrum of work, including matters as unique as hunting rights in the South West, the reservation of fishing rights, and the transfer of working farms. Our solicitors work alongside the Agricultural Teams at major banks and financial institutions and have established close links with other farming and agricultural professionals, including accountants, land agents and farm business advisors.
At Slee Blackwell we know that our job fits into a bigger picture with a requirement to work with other professionals to give you the best commercial advantage possible.
Unique local knowledge
The Slee Blackwell teams offer generations of local knowledge and familiarity when it comes to local planning requirements which offers benefits for clients in need of support with matters such as planning agreements under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act. We’re also very familiar with the requirements of North Devon District Council, Torridge District Council, and Exmoor National Park, amongst others.
