Chambers and Partners: Agriculture and Rural Affairs
Cheltenham-based Rickerbys has carved a strong reputation in the region for rural property work. Providing a wide range of skills, the firm recently expanded its expertise with the arrival of Frank Smith. It now encompasses residential development both straightforwardly and on an option or conditional contract basis. The past year was largely buoyant with the buying and selling of land with entitlements; the team showcased its “high level of technical skill” on this front when it completed the purchase of an arable farm with house and various farm buildings for a commercial farmer for more than £2 million. Robin Beckley works “proactively” on behalf of his clients to “resolve issues without delay, smoothing out the selling process .” Interviewees consider him “personable, thorough and clear,” with a sound grasp of the changing farming legal scene."
