In our current economic climate agriculture alone is rarely the most efficient way to run a large parcel of land. Letting land or outbuildings for industry or leisure, renewable energy projects, subsidised rewilding or development can all be positive and lucrative ways to use your land, and can all be made simpler and provide a better return with advice from a knowledgeable lawyer from the beginning. There are also tax implications to running an estate through a number of generations that a lawyer can help with.

The Spear’s index of 2023 features new names such as David Draisey of Hunters, Natasha Hassall of Boodle Hatfield and Justin Ripman of Mills & Reeve.

The highest calibre of landed estate lawyers will be best equipped to guide clients and unearth issues that would not have otherwise been considered. They can make all the difference in the effective management of an estate, whatever use it’s being put to in times of change.

In an effort to cut through the noise, Spear’s examines and publishes annual rankings of the top private client advisers and service-providers to HNWs. These are drawn up on the basis of peer nominations, client feedback, telephone and face-to-face interviews, data supplied by firms, as well as extensive information gathered by the Spear’s editorial and research teams.
