Why Choose Us?
Local Expertise
When it comes to agricultural law, choosing the right legal representation can make all the difference. While city-based lawyers might seem like a tempting option due to their larger firms and urban prestige, local agricultural lawyers bring unique advantages that are crucial for anyone involved in the industry.
Our experienced agricultural team led by our Partner, Catherine Black, possesses a wealth of knowledge specific to needs of our farming clients. We stay updated on the latest legal developments and trends, ensuring that our clients receive the most relevant and effective legal counsel.
On a more personal level, we take the time to understand your unique needs and challenges. We take pride in specialising our services as we understand that no transaction is the same. Agriculture is more than just a business; it’s a way of life deeply rooted in local communities. Here at Gebbie & Wilson we are attuned to the specific issues that affect our clients and as such, are in a far better position to advocate for our clients’ best interests.
Community Involvement
As members of the local community, we are committed to supporting the agricultural industry that forms the backbone of our region. We show our support by participating in and sponsoring local events that are organised by our farming community.
Option to Lease Agreements for Renewables
As Scotland focuses more on renewable energy, we recognize the importance of supporting our clients whilst they explore renewable development options on their land. Our specialised team is well-versed in renewable energy contract negotiations, whether it’s wind, solar, biomass, or battery storage projects. We work closely with Land Agents and Surveyors to ensure that our clients strike the best deals for their land.
Succession planning for the income stream from renewable energy leases is crucial for ensuring the long-term financial stability and sustainability of a farm and proper planning allows farmers to transfer these benefits to the next generation.
Not only do we deal with options and leasing matters, but we also focus on succession planning so that our clients may ensure a seamless transfer of assets when the time comes. Our estate and succession planning team led by our Partner, Jan Bayley, are mindful of our farming clients’ unique family and business dynamics and can discuss comprehensive strategies that minimize tax burdens, protect your agricultural and renewable energy assets, and ensure your vision is carried forward by future generations.
