Agricultural law is a specialist area — one that requires a thorough understanding of rural land, Scottish tenancy legislation, government support schemes, and the legal frameworks that govern farming and land management. We have that understanding, built up through many years of advising agricultural clients across Perthshire and Scotland.
Anderson Beaton Lamond holds a Law Society of Scotland accreditation in Agricultural Law, reflecting the depth of our experience and our commitment to this area of practice. Our work ranges from straightforward farm sales to complex tenancy disputes and multi-generational succession planning.
Agricultural matters rarely fit neatly into standard legal categories. A land transaction might involve sporting rights, mineral rights, access arrangements, and planning considerations all at once. We're well used to that complexity.
We can help with:
- Agricultural land purchase and sale
- Farm tenancy agreements, including Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and Short Limited Duration Tenancies
- Succession and inheritance planning for farming families
- Seasonal grazing lets and other rural agreements
- Advice on Scottish Government rural support schemes
- Boundary disputes and access rights
- Landlord and tenant matters under Scottish agricultural tenancy law
We also work with landowners, factors, and estate managers on the broader legal aspects of rural property management.
If you're buying or selling farmland, dealing with a tenancy question, or planning the future of a family farm, our team is well placed to help. Please get in touch for a discussion.
