From CAP reform to exploiting new opportunities like renewable energy, agricultural businesses need the best legal advice now more than ever before.

Since it was established in St Austell 1938, legal firm Stephens Scown LLP has been providing support and advice to local farmers and landowners. The agriculture sector has undergone significant change over the years and Stephens Scown has adapted to meet its needs.

Today the firm’s rural team is split across its offices in St Austell, Truro and Exeter, advising clients on everything from property matters, finance and corporate restructuring to renewable energy projects.

The rural team draws on expertise from across the firm and can help clients with inheritance planning, tax issues and family law matters such as divorce, which can often be more complicated for family owned farms.

Stephens Scown’s position as one of the leading firms in Devon and Cornwall has been consolidated with the announcement of independent guides Legal 500 and Chambers. Our agriculture and estates team continued to climb the rankings in Legal 500 and is recognised for its work with large land-owning farmers and renewable energy projects. Chambers gives the rural team its top ranking.
