Farming & Agribusiness.

Practical legal support for farming and agribusiness operations across regional and rural Western Australia.

A long history advising WA’s farming communities.

For more than a century, we’ve worked alongside family farms, producers and agribusinesses across Western Australia. Many of our lawyers have rural backgrounds, so they understand the realities of running an agricultural operation, from seasonal pressures through to compliance and long-term sustainability.

That perspective shapes how we advise. We support clients across the full life cycle of a rural business, including property transactions, land and water access, business structuring and succession planning. The focus is on building resilience, protecting assets and ensuring the business is positioned for the future.

Through Regional Towns, Remote Services (RTRS), clients can access advice locally, without the need to travel, while still benefiting from ongoing support between visits.

Regional Towns. Remote Services.

Farming businesses are rarely just commercial operations. Decisions about land, ownership and structure are often closely tied to family relationships and long-term planning. Through our Regional Towns Remote Services (RTRS) initiative, we work closely with farming clients across the Wheatbelt, providing consistent, face-to-face support in regional communities. This allows us to assist with succession planning in a way that reflects both the legal framework and the realities of running a farm, helping put arrangements in place that deal with ownership, control and expectations while supporting the future of the business.

We also advise on the purchase and sale of rural properties and agribusiness assets, as well as the employment and contractor arrangements that support day-to-day operations. Through RTRS, clients can access this advice locally, without the need to travel, while still benefiting from ongoing support between visits. Whether acting for family farms or larger agribusiness operators, our focus is on providing advice that is clear, practical and aligned across both the business and personal aspects of the operation.

  • We help farmers and agribusiness owners deal with legal issues before they become bigger problems. That might mean reviewing a lease, setting up a succession plan, dealing with a contract, resolving a dispute or sorting out employment and safety issues on the farm. The work often touches both the business and the family, so the advice needs to account for both.

We can also advise on environmental issues, compensation for access to land and business sales or acquisitions.

  • Farming and agribusiness involve legal issues that are often tied to land, family, assets and business continuity.
