Growth and succession planning for greener pastures
Online agribusiness lawyer | Australia
“After years of running this business, I want to grow and make concrete plans for the future. But regional businesses are tricky and I need strategies that the family can implement together”
Farmers and businesses in regional Australia face unique challenges. And getting a lawyer involved can feel scary — especially when it comes to family.
After all, what good is growth and succession planning that doesn’t put the family relationship at its core?
For regional farmers and business owners who want to take action so they can stop stressing and secure their legacy
With over a decade of specialist experience in farm and succession planning, I’ve got you covered. Here’s how I can help:
- Business structuring
- Agistment agreements
- Licence agreements
- Farm succession planning
- Taxation and duties
- Access agreements
- Agricultural and stock leases
- Share-farming agreements
- Water and mineral rights
Get ready to make growth-focused decisions about your business — or finally lock down a succession plan for your farm. It doesn’t have to take ages. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
With flexible hours and virtual consulting, peace of mind is (quite literally) at your fingertips
