We provide quality legal advice and support covering all aspects of Scottish rural Property interests from purchase or sale, to management, leasing and financing - we cover it all.

How we’re different

At WJM, we take the time to get to know our clients in order to customise our services to meet their exact requirements. Whether our clients are landowners, tenants, companies, trusts or individuals we make sure that we understand not only the property issues but also our clients’ aims and objectives and the issues that matter to them.

The Agricultural Rural and Sporting Property team have, between them, more than 45 years of experience in dealing with matters ranging from the purchase of sporting estates to succession and taxation planning issues for affluent individuals, families and businesses.

Our extensive experience and in depth understanding of rural issues allow us to provide a comprehensive and straightforward service to our clients. We advise our clients in plain English, highlighting opportunities and potential pitfalls alike and allowing our clients to make informed decisions.

We are approachable and responsive. We take a pragmatic approach and aim to make life easier for our clients. We also recognise the importance of working closely with our clients’ other advisers to ensure that we deliver the best possible outcome, quickly and cost-effectively.

Why WJM?

Whether your interests lie in a farm or a forest, an estate or country escape, WJM’s Agricultural, Rural and Sporting team will guide you through the issues with advice tailored to suit your priorities, and designed to deliver the best possible outcome for you, with a minimum of fuss.
