Employment Law in Agriculture.

Agricultural & Farming Employment Law Solicitors.

Farming and agricultural businesses often need a lot of manpower at specific times of the year, meaning employment fluctuates between seasons.

This can mean complicated employment contracts and the potential for difficulties between managers and employees when they are employed on a short-term basis in the agriculture industry.

Having an experienced, agricultural law specialist on hand for advice is crucial and can help nip minor issues in the bud before they become major problems.

Typical areas that require legal advice are taking on new employees, or if there is an issue with an employee that needs addressing, such as conduct or performance, or perhaps if you are thinking about dismissing a member of staff.

The team here at Lanyon Bowdler is made up of employment law professionals with vast experience in dealing with many different employment issues in agricultural businesses.
