Most notably known for its expertise in tenancy matters, particularly under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986, the Carlisle-based team at Cartmell Shepherd also acts in complex and contentious agricultural matters, including high-value purchases. Drawing upon the expertise of the firm’s private client, employment and commercial teams, the group is adept to provide comprehensive advice to its diverse client base. While practice head Jonathan Carroll handles contentious and non-contentious agriculture and rural property matters, Mark Jackson focuses on the sales and acquisitions of estates, farms, and forestry. Sale and acquisition expert Katherine Pretswell-Walker also acts in the ownership of mines and minerals.
