Rural Property Law Solicitors
Providing trusted legal advice for more than 130 years.
New Zealand has some of the world’s most developed successful agricultural, horticultural, viticultural and silvicutural industries. That development has required complex, multi-factorial law that has many moving parts. Rural Issues Law involves handling broad issues related to acquiring, owning, financing, operating and succession planning for farms, orchards, vineyards, forestry blocks, and even large lifestyle properties. The high capital value of rural properties and the breadth of the attendant legal issues mandates significant input by professionals, including experienced rural lawyers such as Carlile Dowling.
