The Rural Market
The rural market is unique in many ways having a broader requirement for legal expertise than probably any other area.
As all landowners come under increasing economic and social pressure it is essential they have advisors that really understand the market sector and can provide advice individually tailored to their personal requirements.
Specialist Advice
New technologies, diversification and environmental issues are amongst many new and varied factors that influence decision making as the ownership and management of land moves away from traditional forms. To accommodate this increase in the complexity and range of activities for clients most effectively we have linked four key areas of advice to provide a more comprehensive and coordinated management of our client's legal affairs with our specialist Rural Services Team.
Renewables
Many farmers and landowners are being approached by renewable energy providers or are considering the sector as part of diversification or supplementary income plans following the introduction of feed-in tariffs in April.
At Stephens Scown we have a team dedicated to the renewables sector. They have extensive experience of working with farmers, land and property owners and can work with you to get the project off the ground whilst protecting your assets.

Please note that DEFRA has confirmed that the new minimum size for making a single farm payment claim in England will be 1 hectare (2.471 acres) from 1st January 2010
