Agricultural Law
The farming sector nationally and regionally has experienced a transition from small family operated and focussed businesses to larger ventures involving large-scale private investment or even listed public companies, acquiring and operating broad-acre cultivation, cropping and grazing.
This has typically involved family trusts, succession planning, farm management and focus upon small to medium business models.
Demands upon the agricultural sector and its business models have transformed in step with the rapid development of export opportunities and foreign investment. In more recent years there has been increasing foreign investment and consolidation of farming businesses, resulting in larger operators enjoying economies of scale.
Like never before, key environmental issues for the agriculture sector have included species conservation, protection of world heritage properties, sustainable water supply, bushfire protection and climate change. These have involved often complex regulation of environmental and sustainable water supply issues for the agriculture industry. We can help guide you through these steps in protecting and enhancing your farm assets.
